There are times when every business is going through a restructure. Some companies seem to do this every few years, some every year, and some seem to be undergoing one eternal restructure!
Have you ever noticed that some people are restructure proof? Fear does not grip their body at the mention of that word. They never leave. They never get demoted. They are important to the company.
This reminds me of a story. Please excuse me; we are a training company, so there is always a story.
A big corporation hired several cannibals. “You are all part of our team now,” said the HR manager during the welcome briefing. “You get all the usual benefits and you can go to the cafeteria for something to eat, but please don’t eat any of the other employees.
The cannibals promised they would not.

These are the 5 keys to becoming indispensable at work.
Great story about the Cannibals and so true. Making your self an important part of the business is not so hard. To be honest, its what we should all do anyway. Being a "doer", respecting co-workers, focusing on building skills not rank and keeping an open mind to change will ensure that you are not in the firing line for the next set of redundancies.
When doing a Organisation Restructure, encouraging employees to think in the ways this article suggests would certainly go a long way in helping any transition anxiety, and help the collective body along the transition.
