Change can be refreshing, positive and worthwhile, but for your employees their immediate responses to change may be a mix of anger, insecurity and anxiety.

People resist change for a number of reasons and often businesses try to sell change to their employees by talking about the advantages to the business. There is an old phrase which states ‘don’t talk about ‘we’ until you have talked about ‘me’’, which highlights that employees are unlikely to be concerned about business advantages until they understand how this change will impact them on a personal level.

Dealing with the emotions and concerns of employees in a sensitive and understanding way is really important for the future success of any change initiative. We can help in planning how support will be provided and indeed provide that support to whatever level your business requires.
