Course Description
Change is a huge problem in today’s global and fast-paced environment. Many organizations have laid off workers, and many of the remaining workers are worried not just about who their new boss is and how the new boss / new responsibilities will affect their jobs, but whether or not they will even have a job in the coming months.
Add in the fact that many of these people have seen their retirement plan valuations drop 40% or more, and you quickly get the picture of a stressed-out workforce that is probably spending chunks of time thinking about their personal situations instead of doing productive work!
While change can strike fear in the hearts of many, it must be managed proactively to keep your organization running smoothly. And that’s where we can help!
