Staff Keen To Know About Change Plans

The premise of this article is that when tough decisions need to be made in a troubled economy employees want to be  kept fully informed and treated as adults. It notes that a recent study found that more than two-thirds of respondents expected major workplace change in the coming year, whether from increased work loads, new managers, relocation or job loss.

Three out of four respondents want their managers to provide all information available about changes in the  workplace, but more than a third weren’t confident that they would be informed in a clear and timely manner. Not surprisingly isolation is a recurring theme among many of the nearly 2500 employees surveyed, with nearly half feeling that their employers wouldn’t listen to their views. What is clear to the author is this: employees feel they have a role to play in managing the coming change and organizations can manage change much more effectively by meaningfully involving employees in the process.
