The Solutions to the Failure of Change Implementation


Charrah Hardamon

There are so many things that happen in businesses on a daily basis. The managers take the day to day decisions and long-term decisions as well. The employees working for the companies usually fail to understand the need for a new change happening in the business. The managers need to take a step further and ensure that the employees are satisfied with the advancement. 

There are times when managers make the decisions by themselves and forget about their employees. The managers should float the idea first before implementing anything. First, share the idea with employees, ask them to give their opinion, and get some feedback from them. Involve the workers in the decision-making process if you want them to understand the whole process effectively. Let them know about the decisions and progress. 

Be democratic in your approach. Trust the abilities of your employees and let them know about all the details so they know what they need to do. Let the workers participate in the decision-making process. Moreover, change is something that isn't usually easy to accept. You won't be able to accept a change instantly. If something changes in your life, you will feel the change and it might affect you in a positive or a negative manner. The same goes for the workers. Give time to the workers and let them adjust to the changes. Provide them with training, allow them to learn the skills required e.g. offer on the job training services. Create an environment where employees can learn new skills and work on them as well. Another step that needs to be taken in order to ensure that the employees accept the change is reinforcement. The managers should take steps to ensure that the workers accept change wholeheartedly and start performing at their optimum level. For this, the managers should motivate the workers. They should offer some monetary and non-monetary incentives. Offer performance-related pay to your employees. These rewards will help you achieve the goal of making the employees accept the change.
