Change management may not always involve the professionals. And arguably understandably too, as maybe moving to a new tech tool doesn’t require an expert? Right?
Well, when it comes to making successful and sustainable change, people should be at the centre of the strategy. And with people needing support, communication, and guidance through culture change, getting HR experts involved, may be your not-so-secret ingredient.
So to help us dive into this more and discuss all things change management, we’re delighted to be joined by our very own Megan Power, HR Consultant here at Insight HR.
In this episode, we cover...
05:05 Challenges in Change Implementation
12:30 Navigating Resistance to Change
24:46 Effective Change Management Strategies
33:50 Key Takeaways for Successful Change Management
