Change is inevitable. We know that.
However, the times we are currently living and working in are like nothing our people will have ever experienced in their lifetimes.
Yes, you may have a few older workers who were born during or just after World War II and so will have parents who survived those terrible times. And yes, some of your people will have seen a few stock market crashes.
But the current financial times just seem to be going on and on and on.
Your staff may have experienced several waves of redundancies; numerous calls for cost cutting and time saving initiatives, not to mention being told that salary increases will not be happening yet the cost of living seems to keep rising.
So your staff could be feeling (and showing) signs of stress and possibly even exhaustion.
This month, at the end of what has been yet another tough year, we want to share ideas for lifting morale; for lightening the load – for showing you how and why you need to have a breather every now and again so that when the next lot of bad news hits, we can face it with renewed vigour.
What will be covered:
• How fast the world is changing and will go ON changing • Why some people resist change and the cost of that resistance (to themselves and the organization) • Buts, Fears and WIIFMs • The emotional phases of a change process • How to deal with overwhelm and change weariness • The 4 ‘change’ personalities and how they can affect your business if you don’t understand what each of them is doing during the process • 3 key steps you can take to help your people through ANY change process
If you manage people, and your organization has been going through continuous change to cope with the global financial situation, then don’t miss this webinar.
Ann Andrews became a Change Consultant over 20 years ago after spending many years watching as managers and employees alike struggled with what seemed then, like never ending change. Little did any of us know what the GFC was going to do to us all – as employees, managers and business owners.
Ann set up self-managed teams in a factory environment when it was an unheard of concept. She knows ‘change’ from first hand experience.
