CHALLENGE
A client approached us with concerns about cash flow and the need to review a particular full-time role within their business. They were hoping to streamline the position and potentially reduce costs if the role could be restructured or made redundant.
OUR APPROACH
We conducted a thorough review of the job responsibilities and the processes involved. By analyzing the tasks and finding efficiencies, we were able to reduce the role from a 40-hour-per-week position down to just about 10 hours per week.
FINDINGS & OUTCOME
With the role now requiring only 10 hours a week, we streamlined the responsibilities so that another existing employee could take on those hours. This allowed the employer to navigate the redundancy process with care and sensitivity, offering the reduced hours role to the original employee before reallocating it. Ultimately, this change saved the employer a significant amount of money and improved their cash flow.
RESULT
In the end, the client successfully streamlined their operations and integrated the reduced workload into another role within the company. This case demonstrated how careful process review and role restructuring can lead to substantial cost savings and a more efficient business model.
