It’s no secret that change is an integral part of company development, but at times, change can come with slight resistance from others. Here’s how you can help encourage and guide your colleagues through times of change and help transform company culture.
Make Sure to Involve Everyone
When it comes to change, including employees of all levels in the transformation will help them feel more involved and excited about what’s to come. A great way to divide the responsibility and keep everyone engaged is to encourage suggestions from everyone on how to make changes seamlessly and productively within the company.
Communicate, Communicate, Communicate
The most important part of change within a company is communication. Talking about what’s to come openly will allow everyone to fully understand the overall process and why the change is happening. This can be a great time to remind everyone of the standards and goals of the company, despite some changes that might occur. This will reassure employees throughout the transition period and allow them to feel positive about the changes.
Help Those Struggling
While you can prepare everyone for the changes to come, some people may have a harder time adjusting than others. A great way to reassure and comfort those struggling to get onboard is to have those who have fully embraced the impending changes come and discuss the process. This will encourage a more open and honest dialogue within the company culture while also helping to make the transition smoother for everyone.
Embracing change can be difficult, but when done correctly, it can be a fantastic way for a company to evolve. When everyone feels supported, engaged, and informed, change will no longer seem daunting, but instead a great opportunity to transition into something new.
