I'm not suggesting using a good redundancy package specifically to attract new people, but it can be a positive factor as part of the overall employment conditions. It suggests that the employer cares about their people, in an age when so many organisations are trying to position themselves as an "employer of choice".
I have never understood the logic in offering redundancy packages to
good performers!
This seems to happen in large organisations where a decision is made to shed staff across the board, but it invariably results in the best people leaving and the ones who would struggle to get another job stay. Probably a decision made by bean counters
