Address Opposition, Build Confidence
2 hours, half-day, or full-day
OVERVIEW
Employees almost always associate change as something negative. Changes in administration, updates to procedures and regulations, altering policy, and implementing new technology or software in the workplace for employees can mean lost productivity, adjusting processes they have had in place for years, or learning an entirely new skill.
Managers, leaders, and executives can make the transition of change positive, efficient, and respected by employees and staff by conveying to their workers how grateful they are for the work they do. By expressing gratitude, appreciation, and showcasing the value employees bring to the organization, trust is built, and employees are more receptive to changing their behaviors and habits to implement new policies, initiatives, and more. By connecting and engaging with employees, leaders can address opposition to change, build employees’ confidence in their abilities, and increase acceptance all around.
