PwC's "silent layoffs" in the U.K. involved confidential voluntary redundancy offers with NDAs. Employment law expert Louise Taft explains the role and benefits of NDAs in such processes.
Last month, the Financial Times reported that PwC had
launched a round of "silent layoffs" in the
U.K.
Staff were notified individually to be offered a package to
leave and were told not to inform colleagues if they accepted, as
well as being given a script to follow by HR on the matter.
This inevitably leaked to the press, but as employment law
expert Louise Taft explains in this article for Compliance Week, it's not unusual for
voluntary redundancy agreements to include non-disclosure
agreements (NDAs).
In fact, NDAs can protect both employers and employees, as
Louise explains.
If you would like advice on the voluntary redundancy process
– whether you are an employer seeking to implement one, or an
employee affected by it, don't hesitate to get in touch.

guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
