Featured in Forbes: Navigating the Post-Reorg Blues

We are honoured to share that our President and Founder, Edyta Pacuk, has been featured in the Forbes Coaches Council with her latest article, “The Post-Reorg Blues: What Happens After The Dust Settles.”

In this piece, Edyta reflects on a reality often overlooked in organizational change: while restructuring may promise sharper focus and alignment, the human side of transformation rarely follows a neat path. What emerges instead is what she calls the post-reorg blues—a period marked by emotional fatigue, uncertainty, and cultural disruption.

Reorganizations go beyond charts and reporting lines, reshaping identity, trust, and belonging. Even without job losses, employees may feel guilt, disconnection, or grief over absent colleagues and routines. Leaders often overlook these human costs, concentrating on structural outcomes while morale, confidence, and culture quietly erode.

Six Practices to Move Through the Blues

Edyta offers practical guidance for leaders seeking to rebuild trust and engagement after restructuring:

– Build brave spaces, not just safe ones: encourage vulnerability and open dialogue.

– Keep your ear to the ground: empower change champions to humanize communication.

– Treat everyone as new: re-onboard employees with clarity, context, and connection.

– Make it theirs: invite teams to co-create new norms and ways of working.

– Measure feelings as data: use surveys and listening tools to track emotional impact.

– Recognize momentum: celebrate progress, resilience, and small wins along the way.

At MarchFifteen, we believe that strategy sets the direction, but people carry it forward. The post-reorg period is not just about execution; it is about emotional recovery and cultural rebuilding. Leaders who prioritize both structure and experience are far more likely to guide their organizations toward lasting transformation.
