What is a change management process checklist?

Restructuring can be a challenging and legally sensitive process, especially when it involves potential redundancies. By following the checklist, managers can help adhere to best practices, reducing the risk of legal or professional issues.

The checklist outlines the essential steps, from developing a restructuring proposal to consulting with affected employees and making final decisions.

It’s crucial to understand that each restructuring situation is unique, and getting expert advice early can help avoid pitfalls. For best results, we recommend one of our consultants to ensure your process aligns with legal obligations and supports both the organisation and its employees.
