All organisations need to make change at one time or another.  Whether to beat the competition, evolve the corporate strategy, or to maintain profitability.  What marks out the most high performing organisations is that they use the opportunity of change to supercharge their culture and employee engagement.

“A change in the global strategic focus of our company away from over the counter medicines and into more personalised healthcare meant that roles and competencies had to change in the UK and Ireland affiliate.  This will impact almost 40% of jobs, and we expect a number of existing employees will either choose to leave the organisation or will not have the competencies to map into new roles.  We want to keep as many of our highly skilled employees as we can, we need to maintain employee engagement throughout the change and we need to explain this change proactively to stakeholders and customers.  We also need to evolve our culture into one of smart decision-making, personal accountability and individual autonomy…”
