Engaging people with the change processA key part of

managing change

• in an organisation is to engage those people affected by a change initiative. Staff will be involved in the change process eventually, therefore communicating and engaging with staff about a change plan early helps lay the groundwork for its later success.
• Preparing for organisational transition
• Change managers
• are often appointed to make organisational change go smoothly. They use

change management frameworks

to make changes such as:

1. Restructuring job roles.
2. Restructuring business processes.
3. Implementing new technologies.
4. Decreasing resistance to a change initiative
5. Resistance is inevitable in any change initiative because people often find it unsettling being asked to work in new and different ways. So, change managers can often expect a denial reaction from staff. It takes time to overcome those reactions. When change managers are transparent from day one, the less resistance they are likely to face.
6. Improving performance and productivity
