Overview

Cross Civil Service

Change is a near-constant presence in today’s workplace. Unfortunately, many employees are often left unsure as to why major organisational changes need to take place. This can make it challenging to secure their engagement or commitment. In fact, employees’ resistance to change is one of the main reasons why so many change transformations fail.

Change is something that all of us will experience differently. To deliver change successfully, it’s therefore important that leaders can actively manage, understand and engage with all these potentially different reactions to change.
