Helping people navigate organisational change through talent redeployment and career transition support 

Organisational change can be challenging for both businesses and employees. When an online grocery provider needed to restructure operations, placing 150 employees at risk of redundancy, its priority was clear: retain as much talent as possible while ensuring people received the support they needed to navigate the transition. 

Working alongside the client, LHH, part of The Adecco Group, delivered onsite support across all affected locations. Combining local labour market expertise with dedicated career transition consultants, the team provided employees with independent guidance on internal opportunities and future career options. 

Through workshops, one-to-one coaching, and ongoing career education, employees were empowered to make informed decisions about their next steps. This approach not only supported individuals during a period of uncertainty, but also enabled the client's HR team to focus on critical restructuring activities and redeployment processes. 

The partnership delivered meaningful business and people outcomes. Twenty percent of affected employees successfully moved into new roles within the organisation, helping the client retain valuable skills, experience, and institutional knowledge. For employees leaving the business, a structured three-month career coaching programme provided continued support and confidence as they transitioned to new opportunities. 

Most importantly, the organisation maintained productivity throughout the consultation period, demonstrating how a people-centred approach to workforce transformation can protect both business performance and employee wellbeing.
