In the current economic climate many organisations, regardless of size, are facing the reality of having to restructure to reduce costs and redeploy employees in order to maximise the performance of their current workforce.
Decisions regarding redundancies and redeployment should naturally be made in as clear, objective and efficient a way as possible, but too often it is easy to look to historic data about performance or adopt an inappropriate ‘last in, first out’ approach. With the introduction of the recent Equality Act, the LIFO system is no longer a feasible or acceptable option and, as the first option is not based on future potential, it could mean that the organisation fails to have the right people in the right roles.
To take a more objective approach and one which is completely resilient to external audit and scrutiny, organisations should incorporate psychometric assessment and other techniques into the process to enable them to assess against the competencies required for each role. This will ensure there are objective reasons for letting people go, while aiding the retention of people who will be integral to the company’s future performance.
