Managing and Communicating Organizational Change

Course Description:

According to a recent Conference Board survey, 47 percent of executives, (up from 25 percent in late summer), said they were especially concerned about their employees’ “speed, flexibility and adaptability to change” in the current economic environment.

Sure, change is difficult and typically we tend to think it’s our employees that are prone to resist it.  But in reality, the key is changing your leaders' mindset and their approach from "they won't change," to understanding what they need to do to overcome the challenges associated with change and to together identify and implement effective solutions.

In this critical CCM audio conference, our expert faculty will discuss:

• how to effectively communicate changes to your organization
• key techniques to help encourage your employees to seize this opportunity to learn, grow and improve with your organization
• best practice tools necessary for smooth transitions, and
• why it’s so important to change the focus from “me” to we

By the end of this 75-minute session you’ll know:

• How to assess your organization’s preparedness for major issues
• Critical steps for communicating changes and implementing appropriate solutions to your employees
• Key techniques to ensure continued productivity during transitional periods
• How effective communications can increase employee awareness during difficult periods of organizational change
• How to utilize current changes (both good and bad) as building blocks for a proactive work environment
• Best practices to help your employees understand the changes being made and how they can work with management to overcome any potential obstacles.
