Episode 24: Why Employees Resist Change — And How Great Leaders Navigate It

Episode Description

In this episode, Kerri Roberts, 20+ year HR Pro talks CHANGE. Why are employees resistant to it? What's the science behind the resistance? And what can a leader do about it? If you're a leader and you need a kick in the pants on how to manage change in your organization, you've come to the right place.

Tune in to hear:

  • Why a leader should care about an employee's 'why' behind resistance to change

  • How the fear of the unknown, loss of control, uncertainty over one's role, and comfort with the status quo impact productivity

  • Scientific, psychological phenomenon rooted in several aspects of human cognition and behavior that impact change

  • Practical steps you can take today in your team to positively impact your employee's ability to adapt, accept and thrive during times of change (which is pretty much daily, by the way)
