Change Management

Stress and Change

Sources of stress during change are related to:

Losses: colleagues, status, benefits, internal communication network, control…

Learning elements

It is important to understand that:

A perceived threat can cause the same reaction as a real threat

Human beings have limits in their capacity to adapt to changes which can create a saturation effect (De Meuse & Mc Daris, 1994)

14

Page 15: Symposium CONF 303 Support strategy in change management for the transformation of the MUHC

Change Management

The Human Side of Change

It is important to have a good understanding of what change entails:

• Reactions to change are human and to be expected

• Even positive changes cause stress

The managers have a double challenge:

• Adapt to the change

• Help others through their transition

• Managers practices have an important impact on the success of a change

15

Page 16: Symposium CONF 303 Support strategy in change management for the transformation of the MUHC

Change Management

The Importance of People

Things cannot change without having people make the expected changes a reality.

Reactions depend on the specificities of the change, its impact and the way it is managed. These perceptions are not to be undermined as they relate to feelings and emotions which vary greatly during a transition process, and greatly influence behaviors.

16

Page 17: Symposium CONF 303 Support strategy in change management for the transformation of the MUHC

Implement change quickly and effectively to:

- Minimize the impact on performance and

mobilisation of personnel

- Avoid turnover and unnecessary loss of employees

- Eliminate negative impact on internal and external

clients

- Successfully achieve the target
