The best ways to support your employees  

Businesses that engage in socially responsible restructuring benefit from increased productivity, reduced absenteeism, and higher morale and loyalty among workers. 

Key Steps to Support Employees: 

• Communicate early and often so workers can access information when they are ready. 
• Understand the skills and experiences of your employees to identify the best training and reskilling opportunities. 
• Help workers to identify the services that align with their career aspirations and family needs. 
• Engage with government programs to ensure equitable support for workplaces and communities impacted by the energy transition. 

 Businesses can assist by sharing: 

• Up-to-date government program details 
• Industry trends and training opportunities 
• Real-life case studies of successful workforce transitions 
• Providing clear, accessible updates reduces uncertainty, keeps employees engaged, and fosters a smoother transition to new roles or industries. 
• Additional resources
• Existing government support programs
