Change Management

What is Change Management?

Whilst change is essential for growth, consolidation or even survival, it often has associations with stress, disruption and distrust. Effective change management seeks to guide individuals, teams and organisations through the process from start to finish with clear and consistent communication. 

The desire for change can have many contributing factors. Whether it be responding to a crisis, increased industry competition, new innovations in technology or alterations to an organisation's structure, the corporate environment surrounding change can often become unnecessarily toxic. When changing how a company operates, there will be difficult decisions to make, often involving people’s livelihoods and careers. 

Human resources departments play a major role delivering a smooth change management. Whether it be delivering the change themselves, or ensuring all employees understand how the changes will affect them, it is often difficult for colleagues to instigate changes involving colleagues.
