Notes
This example demonstrates a response to an external economic shock. It clearly links the decision to operational reasons (loss of contract). It separates the carpentry and electrical teams because they fall under different awards. The selection criteria are objective and focused on skills relevant to the remaining work. The timeline ensures the consultation process happens before final decisions are made.
