The problem

The stakes just got significantly higher

From 6 April 2026, the Employment Rights Act 2025 doubled the maximum protective award for collective redundancy consultation failures to 180 days' pay per affected employee. For a programme of 20 employees at average UK salaries, inadequate consultation now carries a maximum tribunal exposure of over £1 million.

Most SME employers are navigating this without structured outplacement support — not because they don't care, but because traditional providers charge £800–£2,500 per employee, making professional support unaffordable at scale.

Celervia was built specifically for this gap. AI-generated, legally defensible, same-day delivery, at a price point that makes proper outplacement viable for every employer — not just those with enterprise budgets.

Each product serves a distinct need in the restructuring process — from employer planning intelligence to individual employee support to aspiration-led career change guidance.

Product 01
Strategic Role Transition Briefing
For HR directors · planning phase
An employer-facing intelligence report mapping the transition landscape for specific role types during restructuring planning. No personal employee data.

From £850 per role type
Product 02
Individual Career Transition Report
For affected employees · post-notification
A personalised, AI-generated career report for each affected employee — delivered within hours of their consent to participate.

From £175 per employee · no minimum
Product 03
Career Aspiration Transition Plan
For employees with a chosen direction
For employees who already know where they want to go — regardless of skills fit. An honest gap assessment, multiple routes to the target role, CV positioning strategy for career changers, and a phased transition plan calibrated to their financial situation.

Why Celervia

What makes this different

⚖️
ERA 2025 compliance built in
Every individual report generates a timestamped audit log exportable for legal and tribunal purposes. Demonstrates meaningful consultation at every stage of the process — something a DIY ChatGPT solution cannot produce.
⚡
Same-day delivery
Employees complete a short intake form and receive their personalised report within hours. Traditional outplacement providers take 2–6 weeks to onboard the first employee. Consultation periods don't wait.
🎯
Genuinely personalised
Every report is specific to the individual — their role, sector, skills, region, financial situation, and stated priorities. Not a template with a name inserted. Not a generic PDF. A report that reads like it was written by someone who spent two hours researching that specific person.
🔒
UK GDPR compliant
Full Data Processing Agreement in place. Employee data is processed under a clear lawful basis with explicit consent. Pasting employee information into a public AI tool creates data protection exposure — Celervia removes that risk entirely.
💷
SME pricing — finally
Traditional outplacement costs £800–£2,500 per employee. Enterprise providers have minimum cohort requirements that price out most SMEs. Celervia starts at £175 per employee with no minimum. One person or one hundred — the price is the same.
🗺️
UK labour market specific
Every report is grounded in current UK data — ONS salary benchmarks, real UK retraining routes with named providers and costs, regional demand signals, and UK-specific regulatory context. Not a US product applied to a UK problem.

The ROI calculation
For a programme of 20 employees at average UK salaries, your ERA 2025 protective award exposure is approximately £1.1 million if consultation fails. A full Celervia programme for 20 employees costs £3,500. That is 0.3% of your exposure — the most cost-effective compliance investment available.
What the pilot tells you
Whether the output quality justifies the investment. Whether your employees find it genuinely useful. Whether the compliance documentation is sufficient for your legal team. All of that — before you spend a pound.
