Organizational redesign is a process that every business will have to perform to maintain or increase their efficiency or to maintain their competitive level with their peers. Unfortunately, most employees will view redesign as a threat to the norm or maybe even their jobs. On the other hand, other stakeholders will find that it is a necessity due to the ever changing outside influences such as advances in technology and internal changes such as a paradigm shift. Ummel (1994) states that redesign is not the same as reorganization or restructuring which are typically motivated by financial recovery plans (Ummel, 1994). Organizational redesign is an open, creative effort to further integrate itself by simplifying and altering its shape (Ummel, 1994). One of the best ways for employees to protect themselves from any negative actions such as a layoff or reduction in force is to know which transferrable skills are required or looked upon as favorable by the employer. The more transferrable skills an employee possesses, the more attractive they will appear to management. To add, if by the unfortunate chance that a person becomes unemployed, their skills will assist in them obtaining new employment.
We are all born with skills we take from job to job (Issacs, 2017). There are several categories of transferrable skills that will best assist in organizational redesign. Transferrable skills can be categorized as:
1. Technical
2. Communication
3. Client Customer
