MAIN BODY
Section A
Question 2 Reasons of employee change resistant at workplace and ways to reduce resistance
effectiveness along with recommendations
Change management is described as the methods through which a company is able to describe
and implements changes in internal as well as external processes. It helps ijn successful adoption
of change within business activities. It allows the employees to understand and agree for the shift
in working conditions and work effectively according to it. Without effective analysis of change
management, it might occur that company resources and time has been wasted (Schaufeli, W.B.,
2018). In order to do effective change management practices, managers have to face various
challenges while introducing change within the organization. Change affects everyone drastically
whether it is a minor staff restructuring or a large business merger. But it is highly crucial
element for growth and betterment if the firm. Few challenges that have been faced by managers
are:
 Conflicts: Change within the organization creates discomfort and situation of fear, which
also leads to leave the staff in order to take their frustration out on each other. Employees
face discomfort and thus chances of conflict arises so it is the responsibility of manager
to help staff members in order to overcome such difficulties. A good manager will dive
into the problems faced by employees and working accordingly in order to reduce effects
of change management within the organization. And change the strategies if the situation
requires any further improvements that have occurred due to change management within
the establishment.
 Planning: Without efficient planning, no manager is able to introduce effective change
management practices within the establishment. For example in Tesco, managers have to
introduce new system so before implementation of any changes, managers have to do
efficient planning in order to maximise the staff potential to adopt such changes and
ultimately their efficiency as well (Sandström, G.Ö., 2017).
 Setbacks: Managers have to be very well prepared with back-up plans in order to make
their changes in most appropriate manner. Managers can never presume that their plan
will work without any issues; they have to believe about the problems that may occur
