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
11. We provide coaching and training to employees so that they understand the change
12. We set behavioural managerial behavioural metrics to ensure the change isn't incorrectly perceived by stakeholders
13. We walk the talk and exude confidence that the change is a positive step for the organisation and its stakeholders

Your Change Management program is custom designed to fit with your change management processes. You can choose a trainer who has worked in a large organisation that has undergone a major change so participants will understand the antecedents and the precedents of change from a practical perspective. Participants will discover that their initial fears are rational and it's just a part of the psychology of how humans react to change. Participants will understand that it's also part of the human psychology; over time to reduce their fears about change and those they may soon embrace the change.
