75% of change initiatives fall short of reaching their full potential. And, it’s not surprising why. Guilt, mistrust and a reduction in performance are commonplace in the aftermath of workforce change. No matter the size of the change, whether it’s a large-scale restructure with redundancies or a small change with a new reporting structure, teams must navigate a period of transition. To do this, leaders need support to effectively lead and navigate their own emotional response to change.

Is your organisation prepared for workforce change? With continued economic uncertainty, shifting labour market conditions and rapid technological advancements, unprepared organisations are at risk. In the face of uncertainty, restructures, cost-cutting measures, mergers and acquisitions become strategic imperatives. Preparation is not only advisable; it's essential.

Despite the rising popularity of redeployment, it's still widely overlooked. There are many reasons why employees who may be required to be released as part of a restructure should be considered for potential future roles within the organisation. While redeployment is an effective practice, its success depends on a well-defined framework for assessing skills and identifying suitable roles during any restructure – regardless of the size of the business. The success of redefining roles hinges on creating a culture of adaptability. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gGY3mC5S #redeployment #restructure #workforcechange

During times of transition and uncertainty, adaptability and resilience are paramount. The Adversity Quotient (AQ) is an important tool to gauge an individual’s capacity to learn and thrive in the face of adversity. AQ is a concept that goes beyond traditional measures of intelligence or emotional intelligence. Instead, it explores an individual’s attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours related to adversity. Discover why AQ is an integral tool to understand how people respond to change: https://lnkd.in/gRyP43in #careertransition #adversity #change

The success of a workforce restructure hinges not only on structural changes, but the transformation of organisational culture. Leaders should never underestimate the impact redundancy has on the morale and engagement of the team that remains. Employee morale is especially vulnerable following a restructure, with uncertainty and fear often prevailing. Leaders who demonstrate a commitment to the culture they promote, following a round of redundancies, build trust among employees.

Redundancy is often a challenging experience, however it can also be an opportunity for growth, reinvention, and a fresh start. If your role is made redundant, ask yourself: If you could do anything at all, what do you want to do next? Think beyond conventional boundaries. Reflect, share, and determine your identity beyond your previous role. This is an important part of discovering the next step on your career journey.

Organisational restructures are inevitable. Are you properly prepared? With economic uncertainty predicted to continue, organisations should effectively plan for workforce change. In fact, being prepared for an organisational restructure is just as critical as preparing to secure a property from an impending flood.  Clear objectives must be defined to guide a restructure, particularly when its core goal is enhancing efficiency or cutting costs. Beyond this, clear communication, transparency and effective planning are all critical. Discover more: https://lnkd.in/gtzRaKdd #organisationalchange #restructuring #redundancy
