About this Event

How Should A Company Let Its People Go?

No company wants to retrench. But when retrenchment becomes unavoidable, how it is handled says everything about the organisation.

This second edition of The Exit Management Handbook has been updated for today’s employment landscape in Singapore, where workforce restructuring must be managed with greater care, clearer documentation, stronger communication, and deeper awareness of legal and reputational risk.

This practical handbook guides HR Practitioners and Business Leaders through the sensitive process of Exit Management, from planning and selection to notification, employee support, outplacement, government reporting, and post-retrenchment recovery. It also reflects important developments such as the Workplace Fairness Act 2025, updated retrenchment obligations, and the broader support ecosystem available to affected employees.

Retrenchment may be a business decision, but how you carry it out reflects the quality of your Leadership, and the Legacy you leave behind.
