Many housing organisations are looking to implement, or have implemented, a restructure to ensure leaner working practices. This is for both cost cutting and for improved accountability from staff. As a result there is an increase in the rolling up of functions alongside improvements in performance management.
Planned restructures are creating demand for interim candidates to lead or assist on projects to restructure organisations. Skill sets required include an operational understanding of housing functions, experience of change management and organisation transformation, project management expertise and employee engagement.

On the performance management side, a number of organisations are focussing on implementing performance indicators, something that is already having a marked impact. Underperforming staff are being moved on from organisations much more quickly than ever before as organisations cannot afford to carry ‘dead wood’. What is interesting to see is that in many cases the vacant positions, left as a result, are not being refilled due to impending organisational restructures.
Those looking to get into a project management role should ensure your CV is achievement focussed with quantifiable measures that demonstrate expertise in this area.
