Answer 1

The business world is changing at a fast pace: technology keeps evolving, customer trends are changing, new market regulations are being launched on a regular basis, and businesses have to cope with unprecedented global crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic that keeps spreading.

In the time of crisis, Companies that can't adapt and grab growth opportunities are most likely to be outcompeted by agile competitors and even disappear. That's why preparing for change should be one of your top priorities. In the times of COVID-19 pandemic, every sector has been going through major fall.

Change management is a systematic approach that includes dealing with the transition or transformation of organizational goals, core values, processes or technologies.

The purpose of every change management initiative is to successfully implement strategies and methods for effecting change and helping people to accept and adapt to change.As organizational changes in the agile workplaces happen daily, change management teams have become crucial performance drivers for many companies.

The thing is, most people resist change. A research shows that only 38% of people like to leave their comfort zone.

I was quite an early adopter and at times an innovator also. Be it Implementing change required in preparation phase, a proper internal communication plan, training programmes employees, and evaluating the success of the programme. Before starting the change process, it is important to identify the resources and individuals that will facilitate the process and lead the change is crucial for success. However, it can be hard to identify those resources and budgets before the process even starts. My attitude was not situational, I am more of person like that. I try to stay optimistic and resilient in hard times. I also try to support and help my colleagues in case they need me. I try to keep empowering the employees so that productivity level does not go that much down.

In these uncertain times, businesses have to review their plans in no time.
