Change
& the change management process
Organisations will often go
through change. For employees,
this can be a significantly
challenging period. Many of us
have been in a position where
we’ve faced a restructuring, a
shift in job position, or a dreaded
redundancy. Sometimes, it’s
expected. Inversely, change can
often come out of nowhere.
You may feel vulnerable, anxious,
and apprehensive when you’re
notified that change is on the
horizon. But you’re not
defenceless. Adapting to change
is one of the most empowering
weapons in your arsenal. As such,
in this article, we will showcase
the power of adaptability,
overcoming instability and
managing uncertainty.
Why you may encounter
organisational change
It’s not a secret that many of us
prefer stability in our daily
routines. Consistency is
something many of us yearn for,
but for an organisation to evolve,
some form of change is
necessary. As a result, many
organisations may enact change
annually, bi-annually, or every five
or so years.
This could entail:
A pivot in priorities;
A new c-suite;
The introduction of new
processes and technology;
A new vision or corporate
strategy;
A need to downsize in times
of turmoil and volatility.
But when this change is
announced, one of the most
critical questions is: how do you
react?
