Course details

Companies are in a constant process of change. During the interim, management and employees must continue at full force so as to not allow for a decline in productivity. Learning how to keep a team together during such an imperative time is a skill that employees cannot discard. This two-day workshop will help you help others deal with change effectively.

Course Objectives:

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Recognize that there are no normal or abnormal ways of reacting to change, but that everyone must start from where they are
  • See change not as something to be feared and resisted but as an essential element of the world to be accepted
  • Understand that adapting to change is not technical but attitudinal. Change is not an intellectual issue but one that strikes at who you are.
  • Recognize that before they can embrace the way things will be, they must go through a process of grieving and of letting go of the way things used to be
  • See change as an opportunity for self-motivation and innovation
  • Identify strategies for helping change be accepted and implemented in the workplace
