Once upon a time, I was leading a change management program for one of the oldest insurance companies in Saudi Arabia. I was asked about how to manage the human aspects of change, such as engaging, motivating, and integrating people into the change process. I was in search of a practical and actionable guide to help me lead this delicate initiative. I wanted this change to be sensitive, lively, and beneficial for individuals, teams, and the organization as a whole. I desired to have the success factors within the organization to ensure overcoming the biggest challenge in change management, which is dealing with people and alleviating their resistance. Ladies and gentlemen, I have found the perfect answer to my quest. I am thrilled to share with you a remarkable book, "Employee Engagement and Commitment: A Guide to Understanding, Measuring and Increasing Engagement in your Organization." This book is an essential tool for leaders in Saudi Arabia and the Arab world who face economic and social challenges that require building a positive organizational culture. This book highlights the following key lessons: 1- The importance of emotional connection between employees and their organizations, as it leads to increased productivity and better overall performance. 2- Tools and strategies for measuring employee engagement enable leaders to understand the strengths and weaknesses in the work environment. 3- Effective strategies to motivate employees and increase their commitment, such as improving the work environment, offering professional development opportunities, and promoting transparency and trust,. 4- The crucial role of effective leadership in fostering engagement and commitment is that leaders must embody the values and organizational goals, setting a positive example for others to follow. 5- Encouraging communication channels between management and employees, as effective communication strengthens feelings of belonging and commitment. This book is a roadmap for leaders to achieve success through passionate, committed employees. By following its principles, you will be better equipped to reach your organizational goals. Now, I challenge you, dear reader, to share your experiences, stories, and ideas related to this topic. Let's work together to learn and grow by using the relevant hashtags. Let's create a movement by engaging, motivating, and inspiring each other to lead positive change. Thank you! #EmployeeEngagement #Commitment #Leadership #ChangeManagement #Motivation #Communication #EffectiveLeadership

As leaders, we often face objections related to the costs and time required for effective change management. However, neglecting these aspects can lead to greater expenses and wasted resources in the long term. Here’s how investing in a people-centred approach, as outlined in Vanessa Auditore’s Mastering the Psychology of Organisational Change, can actually save your organisation time and money. 1. The Cost of Resistance: Resistance to change can be expensive. It leads to decreased productivity, higher turnover rates, and potential project failures. By addressing the human side of change, you can mitigate these costs: Reduced Turnover: Employees are more likely to stay with an organisation that supports them through change. Increased Productivity: A motivated and well-supported team works more efficiently. Successful Implementation: Projects are more likely to succeed when employees are on board and engaged. 2. Time Well Spent: Effective change management requires time, but consider it an investment: Training and Support: Comprehensive training ensures that employees are competent and confident with new systems, reducing errors and inefficiencies. Open Communication: Regular updates and transparent communication prevent misunderstandings and keep projects on track. Early Engagement: Involving employees early in the process saves time by reducing resistance and ensuring smoother transitions. 3. What Are You Doing Wrong? If your organisation is struggling to meet its goals, it might be due to: Ignoring the Human Element: Focusing solely on systems and processes without considering the emotional and psychological needs of your employees. Poor Change Management: Implementing change without proper planning, communication, and support. Lack of Employee Engagement: Failing to involve employees in decision-making processes, leading to disengagement and lack of ownership. Investing in a Solution: Vanessa Auditore’s Mastering the Psychology of Organisational Change provides a people-centred approach that addresses these issues head-on. Here’s why it’s worth the investment: Practical Strategies: Learn to understand and mitigate fear, build resilience, and communicate effectively. Long-Term Benefits: Creating a supportive, change-ready culture leads to sustained success and adaptability. Expert Insights: Gain knowledge from a seasoned professional with extensive experience in organisational psychology and change management. Investing in your people not only enhances their well-being but also ensures that your change initiatives are successful, ultimately saving your organisation time and money.

Phase 2 - Managing change As a change management professional, the immense commercial value Prosci's Phase 2: Managing Change can offer is always a great challenge with fulfilling results. This phase goes well beyond communication and training, incorporating a variety of tactics that are crucial for successful change implementation. This is where we focus on taking actions that will achieve the commercial purpose for the change, identified in Phase One, such as % reduction in turnover, % increase of purchases on contract etc. Everything else are tactics to achieve that. Key strategies such as stakeholder engagement, resistance management, and creating a supportive environment are all essential. By actively involving stakeholders, organisations can increase buy-in and commitment, paving the way for smoother transitions. Addressing resistance early on not only mitigates challenges, it can foster a culture of openness and collaboration. Additionally, establishing strong sponsorship and leadership support ensures that change initiatives are prioritised and effectively communicated throughout the organisation. Emphasising these tactics helps to drive employee engagement and ownership of the change, ultimately leading to improved performance and a stronger bottom line. With 58% of people wanting to hear change from their direct manager, the role sponsors play in achieving the commercial success metrics via people is critical. Harness the power of effective change management in order to unlock commercial potential and create lasting value for your organisations! #ChangeManagementProcess #CommercialValue #prosci

Change Management: The Critical Skill People Managers Need for Modern Corporate Life Changes are a reality in the fast-paced corporate world: it may involve organizational restructuring, new technologies, or changes in business strategy. For a people manager, leading and guiding the team through these changes is an essential leadership capability. So, how do you manage change effectively, with your people fresh, motivated, and directed? Here are 5 key theories that prove to be useful frameworks for people managers in navigating change: 1. Kotter's 8-Step Change Model John Kotter's model focuses on the urgency of building coalitions and momentum during the transition process. Managers may use this step-by-step model, enabling a very straightforward transition with sustained results. 2. Lewin's Change Management Model The Lewin model simplifies change into three stages: unfreeze, change, and refreeze. People managers can implement this model by preparing their team for change (unfreezing), then adopting a change, and finally locking in a new behaviour pattern (refreezing) to sustain success. 3. ADKAR Model: This is an individual change model, hence being very relevant for people managers. It offers five critical steps: Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, and Reinforcement. ADKAR is a step that managers may utilize to handle the personal and emotional impact of change on each individual within their teams. 4. McKinsey 7-S Framework: The 7-S framework considers the seven internal factors—Strategy, Structure, Systems, Shared Values, Skills, Style, and Staff—and looks at how these can be better arranged to drive change. Through this integrated approach, the people manager will ensure all aspects of the team and organization are aligned during a transformation. 5. Bridging Transition Model: William Bridges differentiates between "change" and "transition". While change is situational, a transition is psychological. This model prompts people managers to guide their teams through the emotional stages of transition: Ending, Neutral Zone, and New Beginning providing support at every step. As people managers, our roles are not just to implement change but also to move people through it. With these theories applied specifically to your team's needs, you can create a more resilient, adaptable workforce. What has been your experience with managing change?

Change is so large and complex, that it makes sense that a holistic and multi-disciplinary approach is needed. This post highlights to me that change management requires collaboration from change agents, we may not have expertise in all these disciplines so working together will become more and more important, as change becomes more complex
Everyone thinks they are change experts. Why? Because change management is not one discipline, it is the intersection of many disciplines. Change can be about .... - Strategy implementation. Executing change, especially significant change, is about moving toward a particular strategic direction. And it always involves a series of multiple change. - Operations management. A key part of executing change is about how to change the operations of how work gets done. So, procedures, compliance, operational measures, and performance can all be critical. - People and culture management. Change can involve behavioural and cultural change, and it can also involve HR process, policy and system changes, such as reporting, structure and reward changes. - Leadership development. Leaders play a key role in change, so improving leader change capability can directly impact change outcomes. - Project management. Change initiatives are by design projects. The rigour of project management applies in terms of planning, risk mitigation, resourcing, and project cadences. - Capability development. Organisational and individual change capability development also influence change outcomes. So developing the right competencies and capabilities can be critical. This extends beyond just the skills required to go from A to B. - Communication. Communicating effectively forms the backbone of engagement and driving change progress. You can see how experts from each of these functions can also claim to be experts in managing change, from an angle. This is why you may have a lot of people 'claim' to know how to do your job. However, a well-rounded change manager needs to be skilled in all of these areas to be able to drive change effectively. Which of these areas are you most comfortable, or uncomfortable with? #changemanagement #changeleadership #transformation

Great points and key aspects to managing change from Euan and colleagues. Maybe one reason for many to think that they are change experts is that it is not that hard to understand - when explained by a pro - why all these are needed for good change management. It is quite common sense. The real pros know how to apply these different disciplines and that a LOT of EFFORT is needed to make a successfull change happen.
