We're restructuring... It'll result in new jobs and the loss of old ones. Can our staff grow enough to perform well in the new jobs?
Improving the organisation’s performance through restructuring generally results in substantial changes in the types of jobs staff will be required to do. Old management performance appraisals data won’t assist organisation planning much because the new jobs are so very different from those they replaced. Management performance appraisals also rarely contain any objective data on potential.
To improve organisation performance, you now need full, objective information concerning which existing staff’ have the best potential to grow into the new jobs. Careers Partnership (UK) assists organisation planning of staff redeployment exercises by preparing detailed, impartial psychometric-based reports identifying individuals’ potential to succeed in specific posts within your changed organisation. The independent, research-based nature of these assessments helps those planning organisation performance improvements to defend the decisions they’ve taken concerning the re-hiring and promotion of individual staff to unsuccessful applicants.
Careers Partnership (UK) offers a range of other organisation planning services to help you manage the “people” aspects of restructuring or downsizing for better organisation performance. These include:
- Job analysis to assess and describe the skills sets required in the new jobs
- Design of training plans and management performance appraisal systems to underpin continuing improvements in staff and organisation performance
- Providing career management and / or outplacement support for employees displaced during the planning /organisation performance improvement stages of the project.
