The process of change can be eased through change management by preparing people to take on new tasks and wear new ‘hats’ in leadership. Our Change Management method at Vanquish Services works by helping you to anticipate the challenges that will come from change so that you can face them with the right skills and attitude. There are many significant change challenges that leaders need to navigate effectively to avoid failing in their endeavours.

Change is Inclusive

Managing staff through change can be a daunting task. A great amount of people skills are required to get individual employees to repurpose their skills or mould their behaviour. This is why proper Change Management is so important: it takes care of the people engaged in change.

The success of an organisation is dependent on the ability of the staff to adapt to change. Companies can experience many evolutions, sometimes through mergers and acquisitions and other times through the adoption of new work processes or innovative technology. Change Management helps your staff learn about change, embrace it, and understand their role in steering it. To put it simply, proper management of change ensures that change is driven by the people.

Individual input for overall success

Organisations are living, breathing ecosystems. Changing of procedures does not change organisational culture overnight. Individuals within the organisation will need to make changes in their day-to-day work for organisational change to be successful.

What to expect from Change Management?

During Change Management in the workplace, one-on-one group meetings are conducted between employees and their coach. This environment should be free enough to encourage discussions about individual worries and concerns, expectations, and perceptions about the change the organisation is facing. The coach will gather feedback and use this information to steer everyone in the right direction.

Change Management coaches sit down with employees to work through change. They can also train supervisors and business managers to manage their teams effectively through the change.

They will train supervisors and managers; –

• How to talk to employees about change
• How to lead their teams through change
• How to address individual employee demands and expectations during change
• How to spot and bolster skills among their employees that will be instrumental in effecting the change they seek. This will help them in their roles deciding to make promotions and demotions along the way.

What Makes Our Change Management method effective?

• Trustworthiness – great coaches develop trust with their clients. This is necessary for there to be an open and honest discussion and great quality feedback on the progress of the coaching. The coach is expected to be discreet with the sensitive information they have access to.
• Great listening skills – great coaches will listen to you without judgment or drawing unnecessary conclusions. They are well versed in person-centered communication skills and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). They will initiate conversations either in groups or one-on-one to find out the challenges employees are facing during organisational change.
• Encourage accountability – no change is ever effective in an organisation with little or no accountability. Our coach outlines the need for every member of staff to be responsible and inclusive. They will help you set up systems to monitor progress and get accurate feedback.
• Get accurate feedback – our coach will observe the behaviour and actions of employees to generate accurate feedback on the effectiveness of the Change Management supervision. They will inform the employees of their exact pitfalls so that they can work on their weaknesses.
• Inquiry – a great Change Management coach will ask many open questions. Through this, they will gain as much information as possible. The answers to the questions will be crafted to help employees improve their attitudes and actions, thus helping ‘change’ to be successful.
• Empathetic – for employees to communicate honestly with the coach, there has to be a high level of emotional intelligence exercised by both parties. Our coach will have the empathy to allow them to create a relationship of trust and understanding.
