Self Development Activities

  • When your People Leader shares information about wider business plans or changes, question them on the possible impact on your work.
  • Think about why changes in the past have been successful or unsuccessful and identify why. Ask key people involved to share experiences and lessons learned.
  • Be open to feedback from all sources and adjust key messages where appropriate.
  • Celebrate small successes when implementing change.
  • Communicate clearly that there is a clear and explicit rationale for change.

People Leader Activities

  • Identify key people who can support and influence others during change, not necessarily People Leaders.
  • Provide your team with the relevant information to manage change – encourage them to access training and offer feedback as the project progresses.
  • Invest time to work with your front-line supervisors and People Leaders to ensure they understand and can support people through change. If help is needed, contact the Organisational Development team.
  • Where necessary, plan and resource for any extra workload created by change.
  • Encourage your team to develop formal strategies for managing and communicating change.
