In support of improved organizational performance, the leadership of that organization must introduce change. Do people generally support or reject organizational change?

I believe it’s usually a mix of support in my experience. For example; if the employees are having morale issues with their employer and they hear of an organizational change they may just think it’s another change. This has happened with my employer. The agency wants to change and states that one of its goal for the last three years have been to be “the employer of choice”. Anytime something happens, an employee is upset, payroll made a mistake on a check, the employees are all be disciplined because of one employee’s behavior, then employees will reject the organizational change. I find that employees who are content in their position will support change.

How can training programs help people adapt and acclimate to the many changes facing their organization?

Currently, my employer has created a team for organization change. They are new employees. In the last year, the team has traveled to all 19 offices and tried to meet with over 2,000 employees. They conducted surveys and when that didn’t work they went to talk to individuals one on one. They held mandatory meetings with no supervisors so employees felt comfortable speaking their mind. A few weeks ago the team came by to provide survey results from November. They also wanted each office to have a project for whatever they thought was a important issue. I feel that the change team approach has been great.
