Research Note: The Next Era of Organizational Restructuring: What We Can and Should Do Differently
Simply mentioning the phrase “organizational restructuring” brings to mind images of employee layoffs, organizational chaos, and loss of valued work relationships. Restructuring, like dental surgery, is one of those things we want to avoid but at times is necessary to prevent even worse pain and suffering. And if economic predictions about a potential recession in 2023 prove true, it will become more common over the coming months resulting in layoffs in other industries in addition to the 200,000+ that have recently occurred in the technology industry. Restructuring is often forced upon companies by economic constraints, but even when it is necessary, companies still have considerable control over how it is done and the long-term impact it has on the organization, employees and former employees. This paper provides guidance on how companies can more effectively manage restructurings by taking advantage of recent advances in human resources technology and drawing on research examining previous restructurings.
