PEOPLE SOLUTIONS

for periods of rapid change

As an Organisation Design and Change Consultancy we help you review your  organisation's health to see what is needed to create a workforce that is responsive to change, engaged, productive and fit for the future. We work with you to align people processes, programmes, structure and culture to your strategy.

As organisations work to implement their strategy there will be times when it makes sense to take stock and review how you are set up for the future. 

The trigger for this review may be due to rapid change in the business environment, the Corona crisis, changes in regulation or Brexit transition.

Alternatively, it may come from a change in direction, a merger, moving into a new region or a need to cut costs. By planning now you set your organisation up for the future.

With the Corona crisis at the forefront of our thoughts, now is the time to plan how to rebuild and reshape your workforce.

CASE STUDIES

Kandula has been involved in many projects, across many different industries,
and in various different countries.

Projects typically involve one or more aspects of the
Kandula People Performance Model.

Let’s look at a few case studies.

Case study 1:

Restructure of the business

Client: Medium-sized retail business with around 500 employees

Sponsor: HR Director

Objective: To facilitate the leaders to design a new structure for the organisation and guide the HR team through implementation.

Solution: Developed a step by step programme for a united approach to the design of the new structure and each stage of the implementation, including the development of tools and templates for use by the client.

Our People Performance Model: Valued Work, Solid Foundations

Outcome: A well thought out programme that moved the business from siloed functions to a more cohesive and flexible structure and achieved the cost challenge. Increased the knowledge and skill of the HR team to manage a restructure that involved redundancies and consultation.

 

Case study 2:

Team alignment to vision and values

Client: Small Business with around 20 employees

Sponsor: Business Owner

Objective: To engage the team in creating the vision, values and approach required for the business to have ongoing success.

Solution: A series of meetings with the Business Partners to develop their thinking about the vision, values and strategy. Workshops with the team to engage them and gather their input.

Our People Performance Model: Directional Alignment, Meaningful Connections

Outcome: Feedback was that we brought “a unique style and innovative process to the engagement culminating in a unanimous buy in from the whole team for our new vision, values and goals.  It was both fun and tremendous value for money.”
