Overview/DescriptionIts often said that people dont like change. But when it comes to organizational change, employees are genuinely interested in making things better – an improvement in processes, systems, functions, or services most likely translates into direct improvements for the employee too. But employees cannot support change and recognize its benefits without first understanding how it impacts their tasks, processes, or roles. Employees – and people in general – empowered with knowledge, understanding, and a clear vision of the future state will not only welcome change, but embrace it. In this course, youll learn about the importance of building a motivating atmosphere that supports organizational change, and the importance of creating short-term wins and vision. The course highlights techniques for listening to your employees during change initiatives such as encouraging open communication, listening to employees feelings, checking for understanding, and taking employee input into consideration. The course also covers actions you can take to support individuals through change initiatives, including coaching for change, making sure employees are empowered with the critical knowledge and skills necessary, considering individual characteristics of your employees, and being flexible.

Overview/DescriptionChange is inevitable in an organization, but the process of adapting can be painful. Organizational change can cause anxiety and upheaval, and when it does, its no surprise that employees show resistance. Resistance behaviors can vary from individual to individual and they are often unproductive. While managers may be tempted to deal with behaviors directly, rather than tackling symptoms of resistance to change, managers must deal with the source of those symptoms. They must first understand the mixture of emotions and thoughts that come with change, identify the underlying causes of employee resistance, and then use techniques to address those root causes. When the root causes are addressed, behaviors that show resistance to change will fade. This course outlines these aspects of overcoming resistance to change. It surveys the active and passive symptoms of resistance to change, goes deeper to explore the emotional and thought-based causes of these symptoms, and provides strategies for dealing with root causes through direct conversations with employees.
