Is Your Team Still Effective?
When your organization began, all of the team members were carefully selected for the skills and experience they could bring, and they were placed in the best positions to achieve great results.
Over time, people leave and people join, people are promoted or change roles, and slowly the organization loses institutional knowledge, and the culture stops being a team and becomes just a collection of people focusing on their own tasks and no longer aligning with goals.
Change is not easy.
You may be aware of problems in your business, but are unsure what to do about them. You know your employees may be too comfortable or too afraid to change. You can cut some costs, but too many cuts damage confidence or capability. You may be able to increase sales or profit, but can you repeat this month after month, quarter after quarter, year after year?
- Do you have all the right people doing all the right jobs?
- Reporting to all of the right managers?
- With no communication or management problems?
No?
Don’t worry. You are not alone. The majority of companies we work with have grown to a size where the business no longer fits the market it is trying to serve.
Even with good planning, this still happens.
Why?
The global marketplace is increasingly competitive. High productivity and profitability demand all the right people in all the right roles. Through natural recruitment cycles, or through acquisitions and mergers, people often end up in roles where they are less effective. Sometimes those roles should not even exist.
Is it time to re-organise?
Let us help you review and plan.
We can assess roles and responsibilities to re-balance and re-energise your people and organization for operational effectiveness.
For each employee, we can perform a psychometric assessment to indicate their suitability for current or potential roles. It is not a complete answer, but having this information is very useful in change and business re-organization programmes, and also for recruitment decisions.
For each department, we can conduct a functional business readiness assessment, equivalent to a health check where problems and opportunities can be quickly identified.
Our human resources consultancy is focused on creating a happy and profitable structure. To this end, we serve clients in the fields of process analysis, process configuration, optimization, performance evaluation, mentoring senior middle managers for leadership development, talent management, organizational restructuring, rewarding and personal development, corporate acquisitions, mergers, and upsizing or downsizing to match market conditions.
Once you have the diagnostic reports and a strategic review with suggestions, you can more easily decide who to move, who to hire, and who no longer fits your mission.
