Introduction
We collaborated with a company specialising in hardware and software setup and configuration, technical support, patch management, and system maintenance. With a small team of 7 dedicated staff members, the company prides itself on delivering reliable and efficient IT solutions to its clients. However, this company was facing cash flow challenges, and a restructuring of the organisation became necessary to ensure continued operations and financial stability. We facilitated a fair and effective restructuring process, providing the necessary tools and support to guide the business through this transition, including active participation in meetings and documentation assistance while ensuring equitable treatment of all staff members.
Challenges Faced
- Inconsistent Workload: Fluctuating demand for IT services made it challenging to maintain a stable workforce, leading to resource allocation inefficiencies.
- Cash Flow Problems: Irregular cash flow hindered the company's ability to cover operational costs and pursue growth opportunities.
- Organisational Inefficiencies: Existing structures impeded productivity and adaptability to market changes.
Solutions Implemented
- Restructuring Plan: Collaboratively, we proposed a revised organisational setup to optimise resources and enhance operational efficiency. This included reducing the workforce to 5 members while offering casual roles to the affected employees.
- Payroll Audit: We conducted a thorough payroll system audit to ensure accuracy and compliance, rectify discrepancies, and foster transparency.
Results & Achievements
- Operational Efficiency: Streamlined operations, reduced overheads, and boosted productivity in service delivery.
- Cash Flow Management: Aligning the workforce with business needs improved cash flow.
- Employee Satisfaction: Fair treatment and role offerings maintained morale and loyalty among staff.
Financial Benefits
- Cost Reduction: Optimised workforce led to payroll savings, enhancing financial stability.
- Risk Mitigation: The payroll audit minimised compliance risks, safeguarding financial integrity.
- Executing the restructuring accurately contributed to decreased salary expenses.:
