One of the biggest mistakes companies make is under estimating the impact change has on productivity. The trick is understanding where your team will need assistance in adapting to change. A key part of change management is keeping staff motivated as change takes place. A Motivational Keynote Speaker can come in to present an overview to introduce change and help start things off on the right foot when announcements are made.
Planning and Managing Change
Change has to be planned and managed to keep people focused on the future, so they stop dwelling on the past. This is important because people mourn change and often view it as a negative as opposed to an opportunity. For major change it is always a good idea as part of your change management and planning to set up a day or even a few hours with a presentation with a series of speakers who can address each element of the changes. This way people get a good view of how it will make their lives better as well as to be realistic about negative aspects and how they can be managed.
Positive Twist
A motivational keynote speaker can come in and address all of the positive points the change will bring to not just the company, but to the staff. They can discuss the benefits of change and help align the whole team with the resources available to implement new efforts.
Overview of Assessments
Usually, change is designed to improve customer service in one form or another. Although it might not be clear to everyone, changes must have a positive impact on the delivery of products and services. Motivating people by showing them how the changes came about and why they have been made can include an explanation of the assessment that led to changes. This shows the impact the results made on the decisions. This keeps people engaged and involved so they see the changes are designed to have a positive impact.
New Efficiency
Outlining new efficiencies and the positive effect it will have on the way things are handled can show people how their efforts will be reduced while their productivity is improved. This helps give people a sense of accomplishment which is very important for motivation.
Letting employees see the company is behind them and wishes to support them through the process of change can also help keep them motivated and focused on doing a good job. It will provide confidence not only in themselves, but in the company and the decisions that have been made.
