Rightsizing

Meaning & Definition

What is rightsizing 

Rightsizing in business refers to the strategic adjustment of an organisation's workforce, resources, or operations to align with its current goals, needs, and market conditions. Unlike downsizing, which often implies workforce reduction for cost-cutting, rightsizing involves optimising the organisation's size and structure for efficiency and effectiveness. This process may include reorganising teams, reallocating resources, or adapting to changes in market demand. Rightsizing ensures the right balance of personnel and resources.
