Change is important for the Barclays bank because it helps to bring innovation at their workplace,
 but change can be negative for the employees because it can demotivate them.
Changes are not gona accept in organization, as employees feel uncomfortable hence they donot support their leaders in implementing changes so easily.
Lewin’s change model states that there are three main stages of implementing modification at workplace.
Unfreezing: This is the phase in which leader knows that people will feel unrest hence leaders of firm create healthy workplace culture and strong bonding is
built up with employees. First step is really hard to manage, strong motivation is required to workers so that they support firm and changes are implemented in
business carefully (Mui, Basit and Hassan, 2018).
Change: This is next phase that states that employees’ quarries are being resolved by leader. Leader of company interact with each person personally so that
they do not feel uncomfortable . Leader describes benefit of changes to all staff members so that they work better and support the leader.
Refreeze: this is last phase in which leader identify issues and find out best solution to resolve barriers and handle issues. Proper training is given by leaders to
employees so that productivity of people gets raised in changed situation (Hubball, Clarke and Pearson, 2017).
If leaders are not there they company will not be able to handle issues and disagreement of employees. In such condition they will fail to implement
modifications in business effectively hence it may find issue in gaining competitive advantage (Dahri, Amin and Waseem, 2019).
