Handling Change in an Organization

Change management involves a systematic approach to successfully transforming an

organization's structural processes and technology (Kaufman, 2017). The main purpose of

change management is to assist people in adapting to the new implementations by procedurally

requesting and responding to the new suggestions. In order for the change to be effective, the

process should consider the impacts that the adjustments will have on the employees within that

organization. In handling the changes, stages of planning, communication of the changes,

scheduling, implementation and evaluation of the change plan, need to be laid out (Goetsch &

Davis, 2014). Change plan starts by communicating the basis on the need of adopting the new

methods or technology. Employees within the organization should be allowed to provide their

views on how the new change will affect their performance. After employees are informed of the

changes, the management needs to plan a schedule on how the implementation process will take

place.

Implementation stage involves deploying the proposed change and offering training

services to the employees on the usage of the new techniques such as computer technology

(Goetsch & Davis, 2014). Essentially, the implementation should be handled in different stages

in order to ensure the employees receive the best training on the usage and adaptability of new

measures. Finally, when learning about the usage of new changes, evaluation stage critically

communicates the level of success in achieving the change plan. The evaluation aims at

identifying and correcting the resulting problems on the application of the new changes.

Individual concerns are raised and integrated into the proposed changes in order to enhance the

motivation of employees in the usage of a new concept.

In organizational change, I was subjected to a new job in a different section within the

organization. Therefore, as a new employee in that section, I needed a smooth orientation in the

organization to enhance my adaptability in the new task assigned. It was a significant

requirement that the organization takes me through different approaches they employ in ensuring

employees meet the company goals. Essentially, the change plan in the organization involved

induction to the strategic statements that play a key role in achieving the new company’s success.

Communication is critical in achieving changes in management and work processes

(Benn, Edwards & Williams, 2014). The organization communicated my job change through a

brief notification that incorporated the reasons for the transition and how it was scheduled. In

handling the change, the organization conducted my induction to other workers within the new

work in order to inform them of the new changes in staff. This was with an aim of creating

awareness of a new recruit in the organization. On completion of the induction, the organization

described the expectations for the new job and standards in measuring the progress in the job. In

addition to the induction process, I was taken through relevant training sessions to ensure I adapt

to the new job environment.

The organization did a perfect job in successfully transitioning me from the current job to

a different section. Communication mechanisms were laid out in the appropriate manner to

create awareness on the need for the job changes made. Moreover, the induction and training I

was subjected to were crucial for my adaptability in the new workplace. Most importantly, the

organization accomplished my job change schedule by evaluating the level of adaptation to the

new task.
