areas of studies were industry matters, job level and labor supply in areas of career flexibility.

The restructuring work and organization does not covers balancing and flexibility in tasks and this is important factor for bringing improvements while restructuring. There is discussion and information on employee working hours and balancing career path but there is nothing about tasks and activities.

The area that is influencing working and official hours and balancing of personal to professional life is the tasks that the employees will be performing. After restructuring of work or organization, some of the companies maintains their previous tasks for 23 years until implementation is successful with expected outcome while the same employee will carrying on double work.

studies. Disregard to the job or industry level, there should be specific information recommending employees to manage and adapt while organization is implementing strategic restructuring changing organizational structure.

Section 5)

Opinion

Most of the organization and companies are restructuring to minimize workload along with cost efficiency trying to bring improvement in their business function. It is

not necessary that restructuring will work and there are possibilities for turnover or layoff. Therefore, before conducting and implementing strategic restructuring there should be analysis on the capabilities of organization and their business function to plan, implement and monitor it with successful outcomes. The options that most of the organizations are adopting are outsourcing or cost reduction.

Restructuring work and organization is not about cost or outsourcing but it should be about improving work efficiency and business purpose that is benefitting employees and customers. This will be benefitting organization and their business directly but there are definite limitations and challenges with risks when implementing initially for cost reduction or outsourcing. There will be need for effective risks and issues management to obtain success and not all organizations are achieving it.

When implementing strategic restructuring, the management of a company should take into consideration that load of work should sow reduction or remain the same. This will not affect their working hours or career and this will enable employees to maintain good balance of their working and personal life.

It is possible that there will be definite change in organizational structure but it should be fore the benefit of bringing improvements in communication and reporting and not just a change minimizing costs. The restructuring of work and organization is bringing changes in the people, roles, structure and culture influencing employees

and organizational structure. These are the important factors and anything related to it requires major consideration.

The recommendation during restructuring of work and organization, there should be start from organizational structural changes benefitting employees work efficiency. The management will be reorganizing employees as per their tasks, communications and role in the business function. This will increase productivity and reporting structure-bringing changes in the organizational structure.

The employees should be able to react and to cope up with the changes under close observation of the management in that particular company. If there are complications in reacting and working as per changes and due to restructuring then there are possibilities that more than one employee is showing complications that might result in turnover rate leading affecting others. In order for employees to react, there should be process of improvement and changes meeting their needs and requirements.

As per the organizational structure changes, there should be clear view predicting where they are going forward to. The failure to prediction will show that there is no proper future as per restructuring made in the work or organization. In order to predict, there should be future drafts and plans supporting this fact from managers in the company. It is about vision breakdown for each department or division.

The employees and managers should be able to understand about benefits and purpose of conducting strategic restructuring. The absence of understanding will create confusion and misunderstanding that will not effectively implement changes. The managers and management should create good awareness before and after launch of changes in structure because of strategic restructuring.

The close observation from managers overseeing employees directly will ensure no failure of strategic restructuring of work or organization. While observation, the managers should evaluate and monitor employees as per their work performance. In case of discomfort or issues, managers should guide employees.
