When companies are considering personnel restructuring or downsizing measures, the entire organization finds itself in a phase characterized by uncertainty. Those responsible for implementation must balance the conflicting priorities of economic necessity, social responsibility toward employees, and public perception. Meanwhile, concerns and rumors spread among the workforce. These enormous changes can only be mastered with professional change management.

Managers are not prepared

This makes it difficult for decision-makers to communicate effectively and guide their team through uncertain times.

Long works council negotiations

This increases uncertainty among employees, and the first top performers leave the company.

There is a lack of appreciation

The organization's energy is focused on cushioning employee resistance rather than on goals and early successes.

Emotions are suppressed

Communication primarily takes place on a factual level, which conflicts with the emotions of the employees.
