Change in the workplace

Much has been written about change and peoples' reaction to it at work. Recession brings change (and uncertainty).

Often in their strive to 'get it right', directors and managers omit to fully communicate change to subordinates and then become impatient that people appear to be resisting it. Here, the cause is a breakdown in communications. Here the 'what's in it for me?' approach often works; sell  the benefits and promote the advantages.

Often when facing change it's hobson's choice ie there's no alternative. Consultation, discussion and review are crucial but certainly worth the time spent.
