CHANGE MANAGEMENT
As a result of technological changes and increased demand on production quality I have to implement new production procedures, which will create an increased workload on employees. Is there a way to prevent negative reactions from their side?
Yes. We can create a communication strategy, which will explain to the employees the necessity of the change and will give them the feeling that they are direct participants. If the employees identify themselves with the change and understand the reasons leading to it, they will accept it much easier.
Any change that can contribute to a more effective operation of a company has to be planned and managed. Before its initiation, it is essential to evaluate what impact the change will have not only on production procedures, for example, but also on the employees and the company as a whole. Whether it is a change of work concept, implementation of new procedures and standards into the operation of a company or the merging of two companies; each of these changes brings along not only an increased demand on the flexibility and work performance of employees, but also the uncertainty and disruption of current rules, which may negatively impact work productivity and employee motivation.
