PACE redundancy support

We hope it's something you never have to experience. But if you do, Partnership Action for Continuing Employment (PACE) can help.

Prepare to face the future with PACE

PACE is a Scottish Government initiative. It aims to help individuals and employers cope during redundancy situations. PACE supports businesses of any size, no matter how many employees are involved. It’s free and can help take away some of the strain of dealing with redundancy.

In a 2022 study, 76% of employers and employees said they'd recommend PACE. Skills Development Scotland leads its delivery on behalf of the Scottish Government.

Redundancy support in 3 simple steps

First, your local PACE representative will meet with you. You'll discuss the free support available to you and your employees.
PACE will help you do the best you can for those affected. This'll minimise negative emotions and maximise productivity during a tricky time.
You'll benefit from our strong built-in aftercare service. It gives you and your employees access to the right support at the right time.

I would 100% recommend other businesses to involve PACE to help staff through redundancy. The PACE team offered staff a variety of avenues to people by giving them information about things like pensions, how to make a claim for benefits, training etc, and advised on other job opportunities available in the area.
