Organisational Change

To remain competitive and pro active, change is a normal function of any business. However, if not managed effectively, the impact of change can have a negative effect on organisations. This can be demonstrated by poor morale, increased absence, reduced productivity, additional employee relations issues and lack of trust.

With our expertise, we can support your change programmes from initial planning and design through to implementation.

Mergers and Acquisitions

All too often, during a Merger or Acquisition, emphasis is on the tangible assets such as projected financial gain, increased business opportunity and increased market share. The human side, encompassing HR and including cultural and psychological issues, are secondary and often forgotten and this is one of the main reasons why Mergers and Acquisitions fail.

• Pre deal strategy and planning
• HR Due Diligence
  • Review of liabilities
• Organisational and Stakeholder Engagement
  • communication strategy
  • integration planning
  • organisation design

  • reviewing the Learning and Development Strategy
  • total reward strategy

Divestments

Divestments or closures of businesses need careful managing to ensure that confidence is maintained in the employer and continued employee support is sustained. We can work with you to plan and execute your activities.

Business Restructuring

From time to time, businesses need to restructure to remain competitive or to retain a leading market edge. We recognise that this can be a difficult time for businesses and we have the knowledge, skill and capability to help you. Open and honest communication is vital to minimise impact during uncertainty. We can support you through this process from planning to delivery.

Outplacement Programmes

Working with a group on a customised programme or with an individual on a tailored programme, our outplacement services are adapted to suit the individuals needs. Our high quality programmes provide practical career guidance to individuals who are leaving organisations whilst increasing confidence and self esteem. High performing companies often offer outplacement services, not only to help departing employees to transition to their next career move, but to also demonstrate a positive perception both internally and externally.

Organisational Development

Working with you, and with the input and commitment of your senior management team, we look at your organisation as a whole to maximise engagement and ownership. We will plan a process of change to increase your organisational effectiveness through the involvement of your people. This may include helping your people to gain the skills and knowledge necessary to resolve issues; involve them in the change process, promote high performance, high quality products, increased financial returns, high productivity and a high quality work life balance.
