Workplace Changes / Restructures
"Leaders are - by definition - change makers. When you are called to lead, you are called to advance, move forward and improve the situation"
— Jonathan Michael Bowman, J.D.
Workplace changes can be confronting, emotionally charged, and tricky times to work through – both for you as a Leader, and for your team to absorb. Delos’ can help you during design and implementation of workplace changes to ensure a carefully maintained balance of meeting immediate operational needs while retaining your long-term cultural aspirations – supporting you to manage the changes in a transparent, and trusted, way.
With less than a quarter of organisational redesign efforts succeeding (McKinsey), it is important to ensure the changes are well thought through, carefully planned, and meticulously executed.
Whatever your restructure needs are, Delos can partner with you at each stage of the process to ensure the changes are communicated and managed seamlessly.
Here are some examples of the support Delos can provide:
-
We can help you design your future structure, and future workforce strategy, to ensure it will enable you to deliver on your strategy and that it’s fit for purpose.
-
We will work closely with you to plan the end-to-end process, including assessment and selection processes where required to ensure decisions are fair.
-
We can develop change proposal documentation (ensuring a clearly articulated rationale for the proposed changes) that includes key messages, comms, supporting documentation and employee paperwork.
-
We can support you communicate the proposed, and any confirmed, changes to your team. We will help you carefully navigate any sensitivities along the way.
-
We appreciate what an unsettling time it is for those not directly impacted by the changes. These team members are often upset and sad for those made redundant. Many also feel guilt. These team members are critical to your business’ future success, so we support you to re-engage and refocus their energies on looking ahead.
Case Study
Alliance Group Limited
Alliance Group Limited. One of New Zealand’s largest co-operatives. Alliance supplies some of New Zealand’s finest grass-fed lamb, beef and venison to more than 65 countries around the world. Delos partnered with Alliance Group following the collapse in the global red meat market to implement a leaner operating model. Delos worked closely with their People & Culture team, ensuring leaders and employees were well supported throughout the changes.
