At some point, your workforce will be confronted with change and some of them will resist it. But by taking your employees through four stages of change, you can show them that change doesn't need to be feared, let alone rejected.
Reject it -
Whatever the attitude to change - whether unexpected, unwelcome or simply unwanted - the initial reaction is always the same.
Resist it -
'I was right to think that' is the next logical reaction. Any explanation, no matter how implausible, can be used to rationalize the initial denial.
Reflect on it -

The challenge and excitement of new opportunities has triumphed over all the negative perceptions of change.
