The goals of any change management process include reducing the distraction that the organization experiences while it moves from the current state to the desired state.
Answer:
Explanation:
1. Overcoming resistance
2. Engaging employees
3. Implementing change in phases
Failing to tell employees in advance about organizational changes can increase employee misconduct by 42 percent. An integral part of every stage of the change management process, communication must be a two-way street in order to ensure the success of the organizational change.
Think quality over quantity when it comes to communicating with employees, and consider these communication strategies for successful implementation:
Pre-and post-surveys allow for feedback both before and after the change has been implemented, which can enhance the overall process.
Engage resistors in one-on-one sessions prior to the solution’s implementation to allow them to provide their input.
Be clear, consistent and explicit, especially when it comes to timeline and responsibilities.
Use both formal and informal communication approaches, including email, intranet, in-person meetings, signage and voice mails.
Offer opportunities for employees to provide feedback into the process, and then be sure to use the input to inform the plan.
Gather employees to explore worst-case scenarios and then develop strategies to address them.
Building a foundation for success
Although implementing organizational change is complicated and complex, it does not have to negatively affect your company’s performance.
You can minimize the disruption to your organization by beginning the planning and communication process early to build the foundation for a successful implementation.
