The Pros and Cons of Restructuring Your Business

Advantages

If your business attempts to downsize its operations during restructuring, you may be able to cut down on some of your company’s operational costs. For example, if laying off some of your employees is the right thing to do, your payroll expenses will be minimized. Or, if you decide to eliminate certain managerial processes, communication between employees and decision-making processes amongst executives often improves.

Disadvantages

While restructuring can help your business cut costs and streamline your operations, you may have to let go of highly skilled workers who you have worked with for several years. Additionally, eliminating employees and then assigning their tasks to others could cause the need to increase what you spend on training expenses. Additionally, those workers who stayed with your company after the restructuring process is completed may start to feel insecure about their employment, an effect that can lead to compromised customer service and lower workplace morale.
