Two Ways to Helping Employees Adjust to Change

Since the onset of a global pandemic, lockdowns and ever-changing guidance, it has been a very turbulent time for employers and employees. Change is historically not something that is easily accepted in businesses and it usually requires some sort of change management. Since this particular situation is a very unique experience, the best thing that employers and managers can do is to communicate and have compassion.

Transparent communication between upper management and employees is a very important thing that can really help ease tension and uncertainty. Especially in hard times, employees should be kept in the loop and given the information they need that will ensure that everyone is on the same page.

Compassion has interestingly been more present in the workplace, in most cases, and in these conditions that has been one of the foundations of a good working environment. Employees that have been well supported throughout the pandemic have had a high job satisfaction.

With all of the consistent changes over the last year+ it has proven that having good communication and compassion for employees has proved incredibly successful in dealing with change.
