I’m having a great time here at the SCCE conference and I hope everyone else is as well.
As a continuation from Darren’s Blog earlier, I wanted to encourage you all to come to our session on Challenges of Organizational Restructures: Keeping Ethics at the forefront. As Darren mentioned, this is a topic that I think we can all relate to.
So we are going to talk about the impact restructures have on an organization and how we can keep Ethics at the forefront. And, sine I’m sure many of you have gone through a restructure, we are selfishly hoping we will lean from you. We plan to have a highly interactive session where we share ideas and insights. Our goal is that everyone walks away with a toolbox of ideas and practices so we are better prepared to handle Organizational Restructures at our companies.
We are going to focus on a few key areas which include what leaders can do within your company and some of the glaring challenges that almost every restructuring effort has. By no means do we have all the answers and that’s why we are hoping for a great turnout – so we can learn from you!
Check out Denise Drennan’s Blog for even more details. Hope to see you there! I hope everyone is enjoying their experiences at the conference and taking advantage of the great networking opportunities. If you’re like most people, chances are you have at one point in time been an part of a restructuring or reorganization in your career. Perhaps you have even had the opportunity to have led these types of activities.
My colleagues and I hope you will join us at our session on Challenges of Organizational Restructures: Keeping Ethics at the Forefront.
With many companies both large and small, most are always looking to streamline their operations to continually remain competitive in their respective markets. When companies go through these activities whether it is realignment, acquisition / merger or even closing a facility, the turmoil this can cause within the workforce can cause a rise in ethical issues. It is easy to lose sight of your company values because of the focus on the activities of the restructuring, everything from bad behaviors between employees, leadership failures etc.
We will cover the challenges you may run into, including what employees, leaders, and Ethics and Compliance can do to mitigate the risks associated with the reorganization.
The session is on Wednesday morning at 8:00 AM, so grab some coffee and come and share your experiences with everyone and also hopefully pick up a few extra tools for your toolbox to use during your next reorganization.
