Change management professionals are in short supply, according to Badenoch & Clark’s professional talent spotlight for August.

Lynne Hardman, managing director, professional services, Badenoch & Clark, says: “A rising number of organisations in the not-for-profit sector are hiring change management specialists to review the current organisational structure. Those who have experience in organisational development in particular are highly regarded by employers.

“There is unprecedented demand for change management professionals as a huge number of banks restructure, either in a bid to recover from the negative impact of the downturn or to drive business forward. This is increasing the pressure on salary expectations.”
