Restructuring & Redundancies
We specialise in providing expert advice and strategies for business restructuring. Restructuring is a critical process that involves reorganizing a company’s structure, roles, and operations to improve efficiency, adapt to market changes, or achieve new strategic goals. This can include downsizing, mergers and acquisitions, departmental realignment, or redefining job roles and responsibilities.
Our role as HR consultants is to guide you through this complex process, ensuring that it is executed smoothly and effectively while minimising disruption to your business. We work closely with your leadership team to understand your specific objectives and challenges, then develop a tailored restructuring plan that aligns with your long-term vision.
Our services include workforce planning, where we help you assess your current talent pool and determine the best way to allocate resources. We also assist with communication strategies to ensure transparency and maintain morale during the transition.
By partnering with us, you gain access to strategic insights and hands-on support that enable you to navigate the restructuring process confidently, ensuring your business emerges stronger, more agile, and better positioned for future success.
Additionally, we can assist with Redundancy / Reduction in Force (RIF) processes. McCalmontHR provides comprehensive support and guidance to help businesses navigate the complexities of RIFs, ensuring that the process is handled with sensitivity, compliance, and strategic foresight.
A RIF typically involves reducing the number of employees due to budget constraints, organisational restructuring, or changing business needs. We assist in developing a clear RIF strategy that aligns with your business goals while minimising legal risks and maintaining morale. This includes identifying which roles are affected, ensuring compliance with employment laws, and communicating the changes effectively to your team.
Our services also cover the creation of severance packages, outplacement support for affected employees, and documentation to ensure all processes are transparent and legally sound. By partnering with us, you can manage RIFs with confidence, knowing that all aspects are handled professionally and empathetically, protecting both your business and your employees.
