| Change has become an ever-present and important part of business today. Organizations that fail to change find it increasingly difficult to compete and survive in today's marketplace. But how do you keep employees focused on performance with all the distractions caused by change initiatives? How do managers deal with the emotions, fear and anxiety that come with change? |
| |
|
Supporting Change provides the tools managers need to understand and interpret change - in order to more successfully manage their team through it. By working to support change while addressing the team's comfort level with that change, the manager can more effectively facilitate acceptance of a new way of doing things.
|
| |
| Program Description |
| |
| Supporting Change helps managers learn to understand and to interpret change. By understanding it, managers can more clearly communicate change to their team. This clear communication helps to reduce misunderstanding and anxiety. It also helps the change initiative gain acceptance more quickly - minimizing lost productivity and decreased performance. |
| |
| Throughout the workshop, managers will review video presentations and case studies, participate in group discussions, practice new skills, and receive immediate feedback. Managers leave with implementation tools, troubleshooting guides and additional resources to help them apply the skills they have learned on the job. This course can be completed in 1.5 hours online.

| The Online Version of this Course |
| |
|
This same course is also available online for your training needs. The online course is 1.5 – 2.0 hours in length.
To reinforce the learning from the online course, it is recommended that you also use the Participant Workbook - it serves as a companion to the class. Though not required, the workbook provides the learner with more information, references for future use and a handy troubleshooting guide for this skill. Designed for use with the classroom version of this course, the participant workbook does not correspond directly to the online course - it is, however, a valuable resource for practice of the skills and for reinforcement and is highly recommended.

The online course and workbook together may be purchased for a
special "blended learning" rate.
