How organisational design can help your business to thrive in 2025

With 2025 fast approaching, business owners are already looking ahead and setting goals for the new year. An often-overlooked element of success is Organisational Design, a strategic approach to structuring teams, workflows and roles within a business to improve efficiency and productivity.

“Organisational design is key to ensuring a business runs smoothly and effectively,” says Laura Reilly, a local HR consultant with many years of experience in helping businesses optimise their workforce. “It’s about making sure the right people are in the right roles, communication is clear and everyone knows their part in the company’s larger mission.”

As businesses reflect on 2024 and plan for 2025, now is the perfect time to review how their teams are structured. Are employees well-placed to deliver results? Is communication between departments seamless? Are decisions being made efficiently, or are there bottlenecks that slow progress?

“One of the most common challenges we see is businesses operating with outdated structures that no longer serve their goals. By realigning teams and workflows, businesses can streamline operations and boost performance,” explains Laura.

Organisational design doesn’t stop at reshuffling employees—it also encompasses systems and processes. Effective structures ensure that the business is poised to move towards its strategic objectives without unnecessary friction. According to Laura, “Improving how your teams collaborate can have a transformative effect on overall productivity and morale.”

As businesses aim to make 2025 their best year yet, engaging with HR experts for organisational design could be the missing piece of the puzzle.
