Abstract
This paper discusses the Resistance to Change(RTC). I will explain my results of the questionnaire to RTC and how it relates or compares to the average person. I will also provide my personal experience of change I have experienced during one of my past jobs. I will conclude the paper with the benefits of change process and how management can smooth out the change process.
We all know the saying the "The only constant is change." This saying is credited to the Greek philosopher Heraclitus who lived 535BC-475BC.
Employees resist to changes for many reasons. The main reason is the fear of unknown like loss of job. …show more content…
Management communicated the change, prepared us for the change and gave us the proper training. The planning of the transition has lessened the fear I have about the change. The change has improved our skills, improved efficiency and increased flexibility.
In some organizations, the process of implementing changes occur erratically and rapidly while other organizations plan the process. For those companies who do the changes erratically and rapidly face resistance from employees. In my case, we knew change was planned and coming and that itself helped us understand it and accepted the changes.
To sum it up, my personal experience with changes were mixed. As my results of the RTC questionnaire indicate, I had a bit of fear of changes at the beginning. I did not resist the changes because management gave us an input or saying of the planning process, gave us proper training and communicated the process to everyone involved (Fitzgerald, M., Kruschwitz, N., Bonnet, D., & Welch, M. (October 7). However, I embrace and accept the changes when I see the changes benefits the organizations as well as the employees.
