Restructuring - various scenarios

There are 4 basic scenarios involving Restructuring as follows:

Redundancies

The need to cut costs frequently leads to redundancies being necessary, however there are legal requirements to comply with to ensure that dismissals due to redundancy are fair. We can help you through the process and show you ways to maintain the commitment of the “survivors”.

Changes in market demand, legislation or technology

Externally driven changes can lead to a need to change structure and/or skill sets required to meet the new challenges. The timeframe available for implementation may be quite short. This is a demanding management challenge. We can help you to achieve the necessary transition as smoothly as possible.

Growth

Where opportunities for business growth exist, it is important to be able to capitalise on them as soon as possible, to maintain a competitive edge. We can help you to get the right people doing the right things in the right way and at the right time.

Acquisition or Merger

There are particular “people” challenges associated with acquisitions and mergers. Fear of change and job loss is the first consideration, leading on to potential perceptions of inequality and alienation. The key is establishing and embedding a new “organisational culture”. We have experience in this area and can help increase your chances of success.
