- Maintain open communication. Regularly update the team on changes and how they're affected.
- Recognize individual contributions. Highlighting efforts can encourage continued dedication.
- Offer professional development opportunities. Help team members grow skills relevant to the new structure.

Creo que lo mejor es hacerles partícipes del cambio. La única manera de que alguien esté motivado, es que se sienta parte de este cambio. De lo contrario será un detractor del mismo.

Remotivate them: Open up the lines of communication-open up to them, listen to their concerns and feelings. In addition, explain the reasons for restructuring and how such will contribute toward their long-term benefit and that of their organization. Reconnect them with the bigger picture by reiterating their role in ensuring the future success of the company. Support them with resources, reassurance, and all that may be needed to digest the change. Recognizing small wins can be a good morale booster, and encourage teamwork to help rebuild camaraderie. By leading with empathy, clarity, and direction, guide your team to regain motivational and concentrated forces when times get tough.

Restructuring can feel unsettling, but it’s also an opportunity to bring your team closer and inspire fresh energy. Start by keeping communication clear and consistent—people feel more engaged when they know what’s going on. Acknowledging individual contributions goes a long way, showing that their efforts are valued in a time of change. It’s also crucial to focus on growth. Offering professional development not only helps people adapt to the new structure but also reinforces a sense of purpose and belonging. Transitions are hard, but with the right support, they can spark renewed motivation.

Am besten w?re es die Mitarbeiter erst gar nicht zu entkoppeln! Mitarbeiter sollten in solche Prozesse miteinbezogen werden. Ihre Aufgaben erhalten und Beitr?ge zur Umstrukturierung leisten. Wenn es doch zur Entkopplung kommt, muss die unangenehme Frage gestellt werden ob die entkoppelten Mitarbeiter tats?chlich weiterhin einen Wert für das Unternehmen darstellen. Wird diese Frage mit ja beantwortet, so muss schnell gehandelt werden. Je l?nger der entkoppelte Zustand anh?lt, umso kleiner werden die Aussichten auf Erfolg. Doch was kann man tun? Anfangen k?nnte man mit einem gemeinsamen Teamevent/Teambildung/oder ?hnlichem. Nur A-Mitarbeiter (die natürlich weiterhin gekoppelt sind) haben eine Chance die entkoppelten B-Mitarbeiter mitzurei?en.

To reignite motivation during organizational restructuring, foster open communication and transparency, ensuring your team understands the reasons behind the changes and how it aligns with long-term goals. Acknowledge their concerns, provide reassurance, and offer opportunities for feedback. Re-establish a sense of purpose by focusing on shared objectives, celebrating small wins, and encouraging collaboration. Empower team members with autonomy, provide support for their growth, and recognize their efforts. A united vision and strong leadership will help rebuild trust and motivation.
