It's a new year and you will find that change is sometimes needed to make your business process flow easier and to run a more competitive business than it has been in the past. You can make a smooth transition when change needs to happen by following these best practices:
Ease Up The Pressure
Don't expect your employees to adjust to the change immediately. Sometimes accepting changes are easier for some than others. There are always going to be learning curves and your employees need to know you are open to their questions, comments and feedback on the changes that are happening.
Make Changes Throughout the Company
You need to help your existing employees adapt to the change faster, and make sure new employees understand it right away by revising and distributing material within the organization. You need to make sure they know and understand what the changes are and why they are happening.
Communicate the Change on All Levels
Employees don't want to hear about the changes through the grape vine. They want to hear about changes from upper management - the CEO or their immediate supervisor. They want to know why the changes are being made and how it will affect them and their team members. They will be more responsive to the changes if they hear it from the upper management.
Monitor the Change As It's Implemented
Begin monitoring the changes as soon as they are implemented. If your plan hits a snag, identify and correct it quickly, before it becomes a negative impact on the employees.
Recruit Help from Within
Recruit individuals from within your organization who are respected among their teams. These employees are the ones you should train first, make sure they fully understand the changes, and then they will set a positive example while guiding and training other employees.
