Navigating Change in the Charity Sector: Insights and Solutions

Join us for the next Cii HR Forum with Mary Cullen, Managing Director at Insight HR, who will address the pressing challenges and opportunities facing the sector in 2025. As charities face restructuring, redefining roles, and potential redundancies—driven by shifts in US Aid funding and broader economic signals pointing towards a recession—this session aims to provide actionable advice and innovative solutions.

Key topics will include:

• Restructuring and Workforce Planning: Exploring strategies to manage redundancies and restructuring in a compliant and effective manner, while also taking an empathetic and pragmatic approach to managing all stakeholders and employees.  
• Remote Working Policies and Culture: With remote working once again taking centre stage, many charities are rethinking their policies to balance flexibility with productivity. Mary Cullen will discuss how organisations can craft effective remote work policies that foster collaboration, accountability, and inclusivity while preserving a strong organisational culture.
• Change Management Strategies: Successfully navigating restructuring requires thoughtful change management. This session will offer guidance on engaging stakeholders, communicating effectively during transitions, and empowering teams to embrace change while minimising disruption to operations.

This session is designed to equip charity leaders with the knowledge and strategies needed to adapt to the evolving landscape whilst continuing to deliver impactful services. Join us for a forward-looking discussion that combines expertise with actionable solutions.

The HR Network is hosted by Charities Institute Ireland and supported by Insight HR
