Change Fatigue .. It's Real! What are you going to do about it?
Change Fatigue … It’s real!
Is your organization going through TOO much change? Are members of your team disengaged or burned out? Don’t just put a Band-Aid on it, FIX IT!
Here are the facts:
1. A Harvard Business Review survey showed that since COVID-19 disrupted our lives in March 2020, as many as 60% of people in 40 countries reported experiencing frequent states of burnout.
2. Statistics show that disengaged employees cost businesses an average of $350 billion every year, or $2,246 per disengaged employee.
3. In Mckinsey’s global survey of 800 senior executives in July 2020, two-thirds said they were stepping up investment in automation and AI somewhat or significantly.
Do these facts resonate with you? Let’s be honest; burn out, disengagement, changes in technology all happened pre-pandemic and will only increase POST pandemic. So, what are you going to do it about? Quick fixes to increase short-term engagement? Re-think project timelines? Not invest in innovative technology?
The CORRECT answer is to build change resiliency in your organization. This is not the time to look at where you can make cuts. It’s time to invest in your people and organization to ensure that when inevitable change happens, you are prepared.
Change 4 Growth helps companies go from CHANGE RESISTANT to CHANGE RESILIENT. We use our proven Change Capable Methodology to ensure results are realized. It’s important to note that our solution not only focuses on the people, but on the culture and mindset of the organization. Companies need to build a new culture around how their employees want and need to be engaged. This is not a one size fits all approach.
Below is a sneak peek of our process into building a change resilient organization.
1.) Launch an Internal Transformation team - who will handle leading the organization through the change and leading by example.
2.) Assess current change capabilities and mechanisms (Change CAPABLE Assessment results) -these results will help our team identify where the opportunity lies and key areas to focus to ensure the best results.
3.) Next, we focus on planning, aligning, and building a change capable network, appropriate change activities and concentrated training materials.
4.) Once everything has been launched, we support in helping you to embed the new Change CAPABLE Framework by linking it to performance management systems and incorporate into day to day. Ultimately, allow us to support in building change resilience and competency in the individual and organization.
An organization that is resilient can adapt to all current and future change with minimal disruption. Reach out to us for a free discovery session to discuss further how we can support you and your organization.
