Shifts in company policies, approaches and strategies, alterations to service or product offerings, hierarchy and staff changes, and team rearrangements are all part of an organisation's lifespan at one point or another, whether they are voluntary or dependent on outside forces. According to this research, the average organisation will undergo about five enterprise changes in three years. Changes in the workplace, then, are inevitable, and we'd better get used to this reality.
While anticipation for the new may be exciting, changes at work are often met with the reasonable question 'How will this affect me?', belying anxiety for the future. No matter your place in the organisation, there are several ways in which you can make the best of transitional periods, ensuring the aftermath is positive for everyone involved.
Are you an employer?
People feel comfortable with what is familiar to them, and they won't rush to support what they don't understand. As an employer, you are responsible for convincing your staff about the change and its significance. How will you do this?
Are you an employee?
As an employee, you will often be called to accept and adapt to changes that you have no control over. How can you best navigate these periods, even using them to your career's advantage?
In the end, change is the only way to move forward, and it is up to us to see the gifts it has to offer. With proper communication, support and an open mind, organisational transitions can become steady steps towards evolution and growth.
Effective leadership is a multifaceted concept, but it doesn't have to be complicated. These eight tips will help you become a better employer.
