Equipping managers to lead, engage, and retain talent

Organisational change is stressful for all employees, and maintaining productivity and morale can be difficult. In every organisation, there is a handful of individuals that drives change initiatives. These “change agents” need special skills to enable them to manage the challenges associated with events like mergers and acquisitions, downsizing or restructuring and also take advantage of potential opportunities.

Effective change management relies on strong leadership. Lee Hecht Harrison’s ChangeMap™ program combines a group development session with follow-up coaching to present and reinforce effective change leadership strategies.

This program is:

• Practical – Focuses on what to do and how to do it
• Actionable – Uses timely and relevant business situations
• Customisable – Can be integrated with existing organisational models and frameworks
• Sustainable – Fosters strong change leadership capabilities over prolonged periods

The program includes:

• developing leadership skills, specifically those required in times of change
• training in identifying the different phases of the cycle of change: handling loss, understanding change, making decisions and moving forward
• assisting employees to understand changes in their personal lives in the context of larger global forces
• outlining the choices available to employees in times of change: to resist, avoid or embrace change
• encouraging employees to make constructive, proactive personal decisions in complex situations
• providing assistance with developing an action plan to help each individual navigate organisational change effectively

Equipping managers to lead, engage, and retain talent before, during, and after a single change event or throughout ongoing change.
