MAIN BODY
Identify barriers to and enablers of change within EMTA and suggest Office Manager to manage
change effectively
It is seen that all the employees are reluctant to change. It is difficult for the business
organisations to bring changes as it is a complex process. There are certain reasons behind the
change and still the company faces problems in implementing change. The barriers to change in
EMTA are as follows:
Lack of trust: The employees of EMTA, do not trust their new office manager. This is the
reason they do not follow their instructions and was unable to achieve success. This was one of
the barrier to change.
Lack of communication: The office manager was not able to communicate with the staff
members and this caused various problems. The officer planned to cut the cost by not paying the
lease for London office (Dzwigol and Et. Al., 2019). The staff was unable to understand the
change and this caused problems due to miscommunication among them.
Change Resistant Culture: The culture of the place is also change resistant. This is the
reason staff members of EMTA were not able to accept the change and respect the same. There
are some complexities that demotivated the employees to work.
Enablers to change
Complex situation of organisation: The rise in problems in EMTA was one of the enable
of change. The company was facing financial issues and there was other issue related to Brexit.
There was need of taking a major decision that could help to save the cost and get a sound
financial position (Zheng, Chen and Shang, 2019). This is the reason the new office manager of
EMTA has to bring change in the organisation.
