A manager can not afford it.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"why-change\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why do people resist change?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In practice, there are <strong>8 reasons<\/strong> why people resist <strong>change at work place.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A good manager must recognize these signs easily and understand the emotions that employees feel in this phase. Let&#8217;s try to examine one by one the causes of resistance to change.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>1.Loss of work<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In a company, any technological progress, process or product change will include more optimized work. This means a <strong>reduction in costs<\/strong>, an improvement in efficiency and a focus on faster completion times.<\/p>\n<p>All this means that there will be changes that can affect certain roles and jobs. The team will tend to resist to protect their role.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2.Fear of the unknown<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Employee responses to corporate change<\/strong> may vary. It can be fear or total support.<\/p>\n<p>During <strong>times of change<\/strong>, some employees may feel the need to stick to the past because it is safer, more known and more predictable.<\/p>\n<p>If what they did in the past worked well for them, they could <strong>resist change<\/strong> because they fear this comfortable situation will change in the future.<\/p>\n<p>How can you blame them?<\/p>\n<p>What is known is definitely an anchor, a safe haven, whatever the area.<\/p>\n<p>This is why listening and dialogue become fundamental in this situation. Periodic meetings, comparisons and communication on change can be therefore very useful.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10314 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/corporate-change-2.jpg\" alt=\"corporate change (2)\" width=\"886\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/corporate-change-2.jpg 886w, https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/corporate-change-2-630x354.jpg 630w, https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/corporate-change-2-705x396.jpg 705w, https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/corporate-change-2-450x253.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><strong>3.Loss of control<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Asking to <strong>change the way the work is made <\/strong>can make employees feel helpless and confused.<\/p>\n<p>People are more likely <strong>to understand and apply changes<\/strong> when they feel they have some control over them.<\/p>\n<p>The key is therefore to keep the communication doors open and <strong>to encourage input<\/strong>, support and help from employees.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>4.Lack of competence<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This is a fear that employees will hardly admit openly.<\/p>\n<p>Some people will feel that they will not be able <strong>to make the transition<\/strong>. This is because of their (few or insufficient) skills.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the only way for them to survive or not to show their &#8220;ignorance&#8221; is <strong>to counter change<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Some employees express reluctance in learning something new in general. In this way, however, besides hindering change, they also hinder their <strong>personal growth.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>5.Wrong time<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>It is important to consider that change is, itself, an event!<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, change must be introduced when there are no other important initiatives in progress.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, it is essential <strong>to prepare a strategy for change management <\/strong>since the beginning. The general situation of the organization must be assessed and the analysis should be complete.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases it may be useful <strong>to hire a business change management consultant<\/strong>. This serves <strong>to design an effective and objective change management strategy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>6.Lack of rewards<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Employees can resist changes when they see no reward. It is the simple question &#8220;Who makes me do it?&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Without reward, in fact, there is no motivation <strong>to sustain change in the long run.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Therefore, <strong>to support change management,<\/strong> it is important that <strong>the organization&#8217;s reward systems<\/strong> are modified accordingly. The change must be seen as a rewarding system, an improvement for the company itself.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>7.Social environment<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Each company has its own <strong>internal policy<\/strong>. Thus, some employees resist change a priori, like a &#8220;<strong>political strategy<\/strong>&#8220;. It is simply a way like another to go against the management.<\/p>\n<p>Employees can also <strong>join forces against change<\/strong>. They can do it, for example, to show that the person leading the change is <strong>not good for the task.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the same manner, employees can resist change in order to protect their work colleagues. They do this when, for example, there is a <strong>risk of layoffs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes even managers themselves could <strong>resist change <\/strong>in order to protect their working teams.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>8.Lack of trust and support<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>A <strong>corporate change<\/strong> can not succeed if it takes place in a <strong>climate of distrust<\/strong>. Trust implies faith in the intentions and behavior of others.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, any <strong>change in the workplace<\/strong> can be a cause of fear for the employees. The fear that their roles within the company may change.<\/p>\n<p>In companies where a high degree of trust exists and employees are treated with respect and dignity, there is less resistance to change.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10313 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/corporate-change.jpg\" alt=\"corporate change\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/corporate-change.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/corporate-change-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/corporate-change-1130x753.jpg 1130w, https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/corporate-change-705x470.jpg 705w, https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/corporate-change-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"recognize-change\"><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Recognize resistance to change<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>How do you know if there is <strong>resistance to change in the company<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes people say or demonstrate quite directly that they are not happy or that they will not follow the plans.<\/p>\n<p>Often, however, resistance is less obvious. It tends to act in a hidden way.<\/p>\n<p>Those who remain silent can resist just as firmly as those who openly communicate their dissent.<\/p>\n<p>Silence does not always mean consent. It is more difficult to manage a silent dissent than an open resistance.<\/p>\n<p>Others <strong>may question the methodology.<\/strong> They could do it by undermining the process by which the changes were decided. In short, they will tend to weaken <strong>the initiative of change.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Then, there are those who are too busy to think about <strong>implementing changes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Running everywhere the whole day, sending messages and continuously answering calls, they simply do not have time to <strong>make changes<\/strong> to their operating modes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So, how do you handle the obvious and less obvious resistance to change?<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"overcome-resistance\"><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Strategies to overcome resistance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If new initiatives seem to fade before moving on and the best plans go nowhere, these can be signs that employees are resisting to change.<\/p>\n<p>Even if not all resistances are negative<strong>, the inability to adapt to change<\/strong> can have disastrous consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Several studies have shown that <strong>around 70% of corporate changes<\/strong> fail due to the <strong>resistance of the workforce.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So what do you do <strong>to face resistance to change<\/strong>?

If you try <strong>to make important changes<\/strong> all at once or too quickly, employees may be more likely to resist. It is good practice <strong>to introduce change<\/strong> in measured doses in order to give employees the chance to acclimatize. This not only guarantees less interruptions to the activity, but also makes employees more inclined and therefore more productive.<\/p>\n<p>It is a clich\u00e9, but it is true that change is difficult, in every sector, both in the working as well as in the private sphere.<\/p>\n<p>By following a few <strong>simple strategies<\/strong> and a <strong>well designed plan of change<\/strong>, it is possible, however, to reassure the employees that the company&#8217;s commitment is to ensure, as never before, their well-being and success.<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever found yourself in a <strong>situation of corporate change<\/strong>?
