“The process of change: readiness to change and designing the change
frameworks”
Change management in the workplace is important to be managed as it can help to accomplish
the goals and objectives in the competitive market. According to Deneen and Boud (2014), it is
important for the employees to accept the change in the workplace. If employees do not accept
the change then it can impact the overall activities of the company. Readiness to change is
related with the commitment level of the employees and also their shared belief in the change
process of the management.
Readiness to change is related with reducing the resistance to change. When employees do not
resist the change then it can be stated that they are ready to accept the change in the workplace.
But it can be stated that there are various factors which impact the readiness to change related to
the employees. According to Shea et al., 2014, Employees will resist the change in the
workplace, when actual reason is not given to the employees. According to Al-Haddad and
Kotnour (2015), at the time of implementing the change, it is important to reduce the workload
of the employees in the workplace so that readiness to accept the change can be boosted and also
it will enhance the overall productivity level of the employees in the workplace. It is necessary to
manage the overall resistance to change so that it can be easy to achieve positive outcome
towards the overall operations of the company.
According to Shogren, Schalock and Luckasson (2018), change model is also one of the aspect
on which the management should emphasize so that resistance to change of the employees can
be minimized and there should be readiness to accept the change. The change model is related
with the three stages unfreeze, change and freezing. It is considered as the change framework
that should be used so that it can be easy to manage the overall changes that are taking place in
the workplace. It can be stated that the change is important to be considered as it can help in
controlling the factors and if the change is controlled then it can be simple to achieve the desired
goals and objectives. The initial step of the change model is related to unfreeze in which it is
essential for the organization to consider the changes which is related with reducing the status
quo. In this, it can be seen that there are many people who accept the change in which support is
given and in this active participation is done in relation to the change.
