These are among the findings of O.C. Tanner’s 2024 Global Culture Report based on data and insights from more than 42,000 employees, leaders, HR practitioners and executives from 27 countries, including 4,818 from the UK. According to Robert Ordever, European MD of O.C. Tanner, this research suggests that traditional change management practices, which tend to be linear, top-down and process-oriented, are no longer fit for modern work environments. He said: “Organisational changes can have far-reaching impacts on the workforce. Regardless of whether these changes are strategic, structural, technological or people-centric, not considering employees and seeking their feedback before rolling-out change is a recipe for disaster, potentially leading to widespread frustration, cynicism and disengagement!” Only half (53%) of UK employees believe the organisational changes they have experienced were well-managed; 23% describe them as poorly managed. The report argues that effective change management must start with the creation of a culture in which employees have trust and feel valued. Decentralising the change management process to involve managers at all levels is also important, as is ensuring regular, transparent communications so that all employees have a voice. Ordever added: “It’s crucial that an organisation’s people are the centre of change strategies. This approach will not only remove friction from change management processes but will increase employee wellbeing and strengthen workplace culture. The truth is that no organisational change is going to be effective or lasting without the buy-in of employees. The sooner leaders recognise this and ensure the organisation’s people are always considered, the more successful any changes will be.” www.www.octanner.com/uk BULLETIN BULLETIN
