Supporting a Business Unit Closure

The Challenge

Following a large-scale restructuring, the complete closure of a business unit was required. Beyond legal and administrative obligations, the central challenge was to support employees throughout this sensitive phase with empathy and transparency. The goal was to balance business requirements with human considerations, reduce uncertainty and protect the company’s reputation.

Our Approach

We guided the closure process from start to finish, working closely with executive management and employee representatives through coordination of all legal and administrative processes, development of an empathetic communication and offboarding strategy, and implementation of initiatives to support employees in their transition.
