TUPE Case Study: Delivering a Complex Transfer in Just Two Weeks
Updated: 3 days ago
A client faced an exceptionally compressed TUPE mobilisation window: just two weeks to prepare for the transfer of employees into the incoming organisation.
The timetable initially appeared extremely difficult to achieve. I took ownership of the HR mobilisation and built a structured consultation process at pace, ensuring employees had clear routes to engage and the organisation maintained a robust audit trail.
What I delivered
Created a dedicated booking tool so employees could schedule individual consultation meetings efficiently.
Held individual consultations with affected employees, creating space for questions, concerns and meaningful dialogue.
Delivered group consultation sessions to explain the process, proposed measures and next steps consistently.
Coordinated employee communications, consultation records and supporting documentation under significant time pressure.
Supported the incoming organisation to manage employee relations risk while keeping the transfer timetable on track.
The result
Despite the two-week mobilisation window, the transfer was successfully delivered on schedule. Employees had access to both individual and group consultation, the incoming employer had a structured and defensible HR process, and the consultation programme itself did not generate additional employee-relations problems.
The project demonstrates The HFactor's ability to step into complex TUPE situations at short notice, create order quickly and deliver practical HR mobilisation when the timetable feels almost impossible.
What this demonstrates
Rapid TUPE mobilisation, consultation design, individual and group consultation, employee communications, process creation, stakeholder management, HR governance and delivery under significant time pressure.
