Reasons to consider a reorganisation

1 August 2020

The need to implement changes in the organisation can arise from various causes. It doesn't always stem from financial setbacks. Below you find the most common reasons to restructure the organisation. Any of those reasons can lead to changes in the personnel base. And even to dismissals.

Setbacks from outside the company

For instance:

A decline in the amount of work
Reduction in the number of orders
Reduction in turnover due to the Corona crisis
Less work as a result of the urgent advice from the government to admit fewer customers, or close earlier
Less demand for the service or product that your company offers

Restructuring of the company is necessary

Due to for instance:

The desire to make the organisation future-proof
Or to be able to respond more flexibly to changes in the market
To stay ahead of the competition
Because the way the company provides its products or services needs to be changed
Because management within the company can be more efficient
Or because there is less need for specific expertise
Due to new technological developments
Changed government policy or laws and regulations
The urgent advice from the government to work from home

The organisation closes entirely or partially

One of the locations or branches is no longer profitable
Departments are split up or, on the contrary, merged
A relocation
A merger with another company or an acquisition
As a result of the decision to close business
The owner's retirement

Is this the case in your organisation?
