SUPPORTING CHANGE

Accepting a New Way of Doing Things

Change is not only a given in this modern world, but the rate of change is also accelerating!. Organizations that fail to change find it increasingly difficult to compete and survive in today’s marketplace. But how do you keep employees focused on performance with all the distractions caused by change initiatives? How do managers deal with the emotions, fear and anxiety that come with change?

“The only constant, in today’s world, is CHANGE! Those that resist change (not just for change sake, but progressive change) need a helping hand towards a new beginning.” Robert Blake

Change management training provides the tools managers need to understand and interpret change and to successfully manage their team through it. By working to support change while addressing the team’s comfort level with that change, the manager can more effectively facilitate acceptance of a new way of handling issues.

Program Description

Supporting Change helps managers learn to understand and to interpret change. By understanding it, managers can more clearly communicate change to their team. This clear communication helps to reduce misunderstanding and anxiety. It also helps the change initiative gain acceptance more quickly – minimizing lost productivity and decreased performance.

Managers leave this program with implementation tools, troubleshooting guides and additional resources to help them apply the skills they have learned on the job.

• Understand why change happens, how people react to it, and how to support team member’s struggles with change.
