Voluntary redundancy is when a company asks employees to volunteer to leave their jobs, usually with a severance package. It's a way for companies like JLR to reduce staff without forced layoffs, aiming for a smoother transition. Employees might choose it for a payout or to pursue other opportunities, but it's not always an easy decision.
