What determines whether a restructuring is not only financially successful but also sustainably effective? For the benchmark study "Restructuring 2026," BCG, DGFP, and Restart Career surveyed 254 companies from various industries and sizes. The study reveals why companies restructure, which measures measurably increase implementation success, and how factors such as planning speed, leadership, strategic HR involvement, voluntary redundancy programs, and severance packages impact the outcome. You will receive current benchmarks on severance package factors, decision-making timeframes, and support services, as well as concrete recommendations for planning and implementing your next restructuring project. The results clearly demonstrate that combining speed, clarity, and accountability not only protects trust and the employer brand but also increases the likelihood of achieving financial goals.
