Coping with Change

The Problem this Training Solves

Is your workplace undergoing change?

Have you got a good handle on the change process as far as new systems and processes and organisational structure?

How well are you placed to help your people adjust and cope with the psychological aspects of change? Are any of your people just not "getting it"? Or do you perceive it as a risk that too many people will not "Get it" about the change which is occurring?

It is normal for people to transition at different rates from the old reality to the new reality. Some go fast, embracing the change from the beginning. Some go slow and some seem to get stuck between the past and the future, never quite adjusting.

If your people have little knowledge and have not learnt skills associated with living with change, the risk of losing some of your top performers is high. It is not the transactional aspects of change that people struggle with, it is the psychological aspects of change. will help your managers and supervisors learn new skills and be prepared to lead the psychological aspects of change as well as the transactional aspects.

Training Outline

Living with Change comprises four modules:

1. Nature of change?
2. How change can effect individuals
3. Strategies for coping with change
4. Developing your own resilience towards change

Nature of change asks participants to reflect on a change and how they felt, what they thought and what they did with regard to the change and to discuss what the patterns they observe imply for them as individuals and as a group.

How change affects individuals demonstrates to participants how people react to the transition from the old to the new. It asks participants to rate themselves on their readiness for change and the frame in which they are viewing change..

Strategies for coping with change reviews and provides tools for understanding how people transition through change and explores what they can do to help themselves cope with change through each stage.

Developing your own resilience to change demonstrates what comprises resilience to change and gives participants an opportunity to select and practice some simple techniques to improve their resilience to change.
