Change is a constant challenge for all organisations. But the pace at which organisations go through change today is a challenge many have not faced before. Whether you’re reacting to pressure from an external event or adjusting to increased digitalisation or globalisation, this quickening pace can have a major impact on the well-being of your employees.
Many people don’t like uncertainty. Some may find it difficult to cope, adapt and remain resilient in the face of ambiguity and pressure. You may see higher incidents of burnout and exacerbated levels of stress.
Change can turn out to be positive in the end, if done right. And doing it right requires more resources. You need to support your employees through change if you want them to adapt well. Investing in your employees’ well-being can lead to positive outcomes like better performance, less turnover, more agility as an organisation and higher engagement with a sense of purpose.
