Change Management Programs - Manage Change in the Workplace

Change Management - Manage Change in the WorkplaceTraining Program by Preferred Training Networks.

Employees often fear change. How will it affect me? It’s all about communication. If it’s communicated well, your employees can embrace change. If it’s communicated poorly, forget it.

Change is a constant part of our personal and professional lives. Change in the workplace is often met by resistance from employees. The fear of the unknown and lack of experience in dealing with change can lead to chaos and dysfunctional teams.

It’s critical that your key people know how to nurture an environment that will help your people embrace change in your workplace.
If you are about to implement change in your organisation your senior management team needs to consider if they will undertake the following:

1. We communicate often with stakeholders to keep them informed of how the change is being implemented.


2. We always explain the effect of change to my team.


3. We always get feedback from employees to understand what they think of the potential change.


4. We set clear short and long term goals which can be achieved through change.


5. We have a communication plan of more than 2 pages.


6. We take time to understand the people who resist change and help them become more positive about the change.


7. We involve as many people as possible in the change process.


8. We delegate decisions and give authority to employees during the change process.


9. We choose Change Agents that will model the positive differences of the change.


10. We develop flexible systems to implement change which can be easily modified to accommodate any unplanned situations.
