Dijlah's+Context+of+the+Change

Many employees will resist change, how they resist and the choices they make can influence the success of the change project and the overall impact that will result on the organization due to the impact on productivity and employee morale and ultimately employee turnover. Change to a business can include:
 * How will you address the learning needs and challenges **

• New ways of doing work. • New systems or tools. • New reporting structures. • New job roles.

Senior managers play a critical role in change management process, understanding the impact this change will have on their employees is very critical to the success of the project they are trying to implement and their overall success of their company. As a consultant I think communication is key to the success of implementing any change. What learning will need to take place and by whom?

Me – as a consultant I would need to effectively communicate: ** · Reinforce why the change is happening; help employees understand the business reasons for the change. · Listen and respond to feedback from the organization; actively seek input from all levels of management.  · Provide updates on the project’s progress; let top management and employees know what they can expect and when.  · Provide training sessions – each group or department separate, that way the training is more focused on their fields.

· Define and communicate the project objectives and scope; tell employees what they can expect to happen and when. · <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Need to explain to employees why the change is happening; discuss the business reasons for the change and the costs or risks of not changing. <span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> <span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Allow a budget for training sessions. <span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> <span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Recognize behavior and results that are consistent with the change and reward role models. <span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">
