Workplace Change & Restructuring

Change is inevitable and people have a variety of responses to it depending on factors such as temperament, past experience, beliefs etc. Some leaders and employees in an organisation can see restructuring as a tragedy, especially where people’s lives are negatively affected. Leaders however are charged with the change imperative to survive in the current and developing deregulated competitive business environment. They anticipate that the leaner narrower structures will create a more responsive customer focused service delivery.

During and after major restructuring, most employees assess their on-going relationship with the organisation. Many review their loyalties and trust. The rationale used is influenced by their experience of the processes followed during restructuring, and their own perceived future potential within the reconstituted organisation. Revitalised performance is not possible with a profoundly disillusioned workforce.
