A structure, roles and reporting lines that fit what your organisation is trying to do.

Organisations often grow by adding people and roles one at a time. After a while, nobody is quite sure who decides what, some teams are overloaded while others are not, and new strategies stall because the structure was never set up to deliver them.
Once the new structure is agreed, our Recruitment / Workforce team can help fill new roles, and our Training team can help staff move into them.
Changing roles and reporting lines affects people’s jobs, so it needs to be handled fairly and in line with employment law. In Sierra Leone that means taking account of the Employment Act 2023, existing contracts and any collective agreements, and consulting staff properly. We plan the transition with you so changes are explained, documented and carried out in the right order.
We also make sure the new structure can be paid for and staffed. Our accountants can check the cost against your budget, our recruitment team can help fill new roles, and our trainers can help people step into them.
Scope and fees are agreed in writing before work starts.

Transition support as the changes are made.
Common signs are unclear decision-making, some teams overloaded while others are not, managers with too many direct reports, and new strategies that stall. A short review tells you whether the structure is the problem.
Not necessarily. Many restructures move roles and reporting lines without reducing staff. Where jobs are affected, we help you plan a fair process in line with employment law.
Yes. We write or update job descriptions for the new structure and can suggest a simple grading approach so roles are paid consistently.
Yes. We help NGOs design structures that fit new programmes and funding, and that funders will recognise.
A review and options can usually be completed in a few weeks for a small or medium-sized organisation. The transition depends on how much is changing.
