The Change Consultancy

Among the equality and diversity issues within the workplace, #ageism is often overlooked. With such a wide age range in the modern workforce it's sadly become prevalent, and can affect people at all levels. #Diversity https://www.peoplemanagement.co.uk/…/mo st-young-managers-fe…

It's important to choose the #ChangeAgents with the right skills for your project. This article from @palsher gives advice on how to choose the right ones. #ChangeManagement https://zurl.co/XftM

All companies need to promote and encourage #diversity, as it's incredibly beneficial to have good range of staff who can provide different viewpoints and skills. Never underestimate the importance of having a #DiverseWorkforce! https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/3201 62#!

One of the most important things to know about your business is that your services are only as good as your employees as a collective whole. If they can’t work together as a team, or are off doing their own thing instead of co-operating, then customers will notice the cracks in your service. Tasks get put off for days or even weeks, projects are delayed, customer complaints pile up, and other problems can develop if your team isn’t acting like a #team. That's when #teambuilding is needed, to bring your team back together! https://thechangeconsultancy.co/…/what- makes-team-building…/

This is a great case study on why company #culture drives #performance. Caremark have realised the same thing we can't help but shout about in our #Tribe365 program- that #EmployeeEngagement is the key to success! https://www.hrgrapevine.com/…/2018-09-1 0-how-this-national-…

Have you encountered issues with setting or reviewing objectives or change goals?
Under #Tribe365 , The Change Consultancy has designed and offers a series of short, change-oriented, people modules for group or individual delivery. These are for clients who wish their change project leaders and team members to build up a portfolio of knowledge and skills on topics such as: assertiveness, communication, conflict management, leadership style, motivation, networking, team development. This will assist them in understanding the way forward to introduce and implement change.

We're been discussing the generational differences in work a lot recently here at The Change Consultancy, and these statistics are interesting because they make you wonder whether or not the workplace cultures #millennials been introduced into have some part in creating this fear of switching jobs? #WorkCulture #Workforce https://www.peoplemanagement.co.uk/…/mi llennials-scared-to-…

What is #teamwork? Well it's the process of working together in a group in order to achieve a goal.
On our Team Building days in partnership with North East Outdoor Adventures we do a variety of different exercises & activities to support the development of your organisation through encouraging team work. These can range from Non-Adventurous, all the way up to Extreme, so there's something for everyone!

We came across this article by @PeopleMgt, and were interested to see that they also believe that the old norm of working 9 to 5 is outdated due to modern technological advancements. As we said in our blog: "Other countries and even other businesses in the UK have implemented shorter work weeks and aren’t suffering... Perhaps it’s time to learn from our neighbours and adapt to the changing times. "

" Diversity gives you access to a greater range of talent, not just the talent that belongs to a particular world-view or ethnicity or some other restricting definition. It helps provide insight into the needs and motivations of all of your client or customer base, rather than just a small part of it." Article by Forbes https://www.forbes.com/…/why-workplace- diversity-is-so-im…/…

When your organisation's change plans meet the real world, the real world wins. Seldom does everything go as planned. Errors and issues accumulate. Mistaken assumptions can come back to bite you on the backside.
The lesson is clear – expect things to go wrong during implementation. Formulation of ‘what-if’ alternatives during planning is definitely a good move!

In this week's blog we look at how to make #TeamBuilding exercises work for your company.
" The main reason team building exercises exist is because, when done right, they produce a sense of community and shared values in the workplace. When left to their own devices, team members may not form a real bond with each other, as there’s no ice breaker to prompt conversations. In larger companies, forming connections between departments is vital to inter-department communication. "

When you are considering #OrganisationalChange for your company, there are several important factors that can throw a wrench into even the most meticulous plan. A lot of employers aren’t aware of internal problems that can affect a change plan, such as ineffective communication, poor morale among employees, staff hierarchy and other factors, and business owners frequently fail to take external influences into account, or refuse to act on them for whatever reason. Some of thes...e internal and external factors include:
◽ Internal Company Politics/Communication ◽ External Communications ◽ Company Structure ◽ Economics

#Agile methodology is much more flexible than the traditional approach to #projectmanagement, and due to this the process needs to be monitored carefully to ensure resources are managed appropriately. Article by Greg Bailey from @ProSymmetry. https://www.projecttimes.com/…/agile-as pirations-how-attain…

“Protocols like Agile, Lean, or Quality don’t fail because of their techniques. They fail because people don’t recognise they are transformational changes that completely alter how an organisation operates.” Don Harrison, President of IMA.

After coming across this article by Achievers, we got into a discussion about Psychological Safety.
An important idea/statement we picked out of this article is that staff need to be in a #culture where they feel they won't be treated unfairly for giving honest feedback. However, the key point here is that the environment is dictated by the workforce and not by management and there has to be total buy in from all the members of the workforce to get things truly working.
It's ...a fantastic environment to aim for however getting to that point and maintaining it is very difficult. #Tribe365 is a tool that, should this environment be suitable for the workforce, will facilitate that journey.
