Implement communication plan

• Communication is the biggest influence on transformation success. At companies where management communicate openly about the transformation’s progress, employees are 8 times more likely to report a successful outcome. Be transparent throughout each change initiative. Employees need context about what’s driving the change and what the process will be.

➢ Visualize the Future State

• Encourage employees to visualize the outcome. Incorporate visual representations, particularly if the change is a less tangible one (such as to core computer systems). Doing this will increase positive perspectives and reduce the uncertainty that undermines employees’ willingness to accept change.

Improve Employee Engagement

• Workplaces afflicted with low morale are at greater risk of employee change fatigue. Disengaged staff often feel disconnected with the company. Their lack of involvement can breed an isolation which is harder to redress. Improving employee engagement also increases the potential for encouraging change advocates whose positivity can influence colleagues and lift overall employee sentiment.
