Supporting Organizations during times of Disruption: An FMCG Case Study

Change is perhaps the only constant in any organization. In this fast-paced era of industrial evolution there are constant hiccups to be mitigated. Human Dynamic is constantly partnering with companies to provide strategies to ease the process of change.

In one such instance an FMCG based in Korea approached Human Dynamic, to assist with the restructuring. While most of the exiting employees were offered good support and a satisfactory severance package, it was the remaining employees that posed a great challenge. The remaining employees started to feel burdened by the increased work load and felt really stressed. To understand the issue at hand in depth, a needs analysis was conducted by Human Dynamic.
