#152 Topic in Ten: Restructures and people change communications

Restructures are one of the biggest and scariest people change scenarios organisations face, especially when roles are impacted and redundancies are on the table. 

In this episode of the Less Chatter, More Matter podcast, we're doing another Topic in Ten - this time, we're unpacking restructures from a people change and communications perspective.

Drawing on extensive experience supporting large-scale restructures, we look at the typical phases, starting with raising awareness and managing rumours, moving through consultation and feedback, confirming the final structure, supporting redeployment and off-boarding, and finally embedding the new ways of working. 

Along the way, we explore what employees are really worried about, the role leaders play in shaping the experience, and why empathy, clarity and timing matter more than perfect answers. 

This episode is a practical guide for internal communicators, change practitioners, HR professionals and leaders who want to handle restructures in a way that supports people, protects trust and sets the organisation up for what comes next.
