Understanding impact of change on employee engagement
Contrary to popular belief, Effectory's research demonstrates that employees embrace change, whether that be reorganisation, restructuring, merging or downsizing.
Where many organisations perceive resistance this is in fact a reaction to one or more of the fundamental needs all employees have not being met. In an otherwise stable environment (i.e. not experiencing change) resistance is not routinely experienced.
During and post change the story can be quite different – if any one of several attitudinal drivers is not appropriately addressed we see apparent resistance. With an extensive background in researching this phenomena, Effectory is able through appropriate use of survey to measure these drivers and provide clients an objective assessment of the areas that are causing the resistance.
In many cases it can be as simple as appropriate communication or role clarity, but the causes vary from business unit to business unit, region to region and between differing hierachical levels. Effectory's change survey allows an organisation to precisely pinpoint what is happening where and how, such that you are able to address the issue head on and with optimal use of limited resources.
