Restructuring occurs when positions in an organisation are no longer required. This may be due to a change in business structure or market fundamentals, economic slow-down, an interruption in work processes, or the need to reduce costs.

Companies which are at the forefront of their industries recognise career transition programs are an important tool in the employee life cycle, and an important tool in managing the business during restructuring. If not managed correctly, the method of separation may:

• have an effect on a former employee's ability to reintegrate back into the workforce
  
• influence the perception they have of the company as an employer
  
• change the morale and culture of employees who remain
  
• affect the productivity of the business during the change process
  
• create opportunity for workplace unrest

The potential impact of restructuring can be effectively managed by developing and implementing a suitable career transitioning program which will send an important and supportive message to those who remain in your organisation.

Dekro Consulting offer a number of different outplacement strategies and fee structures that we can tailor to meet the needs and the financial considerations of organisations.

In consultation with our Human Resource Practitioners, we work with you to choose the level of content and focus for the program which is dependent upon the needs of the individuals involved and the budgetary considerations of the business. Our programs are not restricted to traditional re-employment opportunities and range from:

• job market programs
• self-employment
• early retirement
