Strategic Planning of a Downsizing

Pre-Downsizing Support

Our Strategic support interventions help Organisations in dealing with people at a sensitive time.

  • Managing Change in a Downsizing

Redundancies can bring about anger, tension, and lower staff morale. We deliver bespoke workshops to assist all managers on how to plan and manage change for both themselves and their team.

  • Delivering the Bad News Coaching

We also facilitate workshops and 1-1 coaching interventions to assist managers who have to deliver bad news to staff. This workshop enables managers to conduct the "Bad News Meeting", how to deal with feelings including anger and sadness arising as a result and how to understand and anticipate the type of questions that may be asked.

  • Interim IR Specialist

Our experienced IR specialist is available to organisations on a consultancy basis to advise on preplanning a restructuring. He has in-depth experience of dealing with downsizing and industrial relations issues and his candid advice has saved organisations time and money.

Post-Change Support

Harmonics has developed a management workshop to help them support their staff post restructure. This programme kick starts Managers performance at a time when they have to adapt to leading teams with less people resources.

All downsizing initiatives are different and before any intervention, Harmonics meet with the organisation to diagnose and recommend the best approach based of the needs of the participants at that time.

What Clients have said

Gerard Cunningham, Director - TDK Electronics Ireland Limited
Our expectation of Harmonics was that they would help our employees consider their options at a time of uncertainty and disappointment in their careers; to identify a range of opportunities for the future; and, finally, to help our employees to prepare for the future thoroughly and with confidence.

Harmonics provided an excellent service to TDK and we were very satisfied with the results. In the first instance, Harmonics provided direction to the company when we were facing a redundancy process for the first time by recommending well-structured and transparent outplacement programs. At the same time, Harmonics were flexible and responsive enough to accommodate modifications to the programs to meet our requirements.

Most importantly, Harmonics excelled at the level of the counseling to our staff. Our employees engaged actively in the process and had confidence in the counselors. As a result, they emerged from the process with greater confidence than before, had a good understanding of their options for the future and were well prepared to pursue their preferred options. Overall, the feedback from our employees regarding the process was very positive.

To summarise, Harmonics were well organised, experienced, professional and creative in helping our employees focus on their best career opportunities for the future.
