You're facing organizational changes and restructuring in HR. How can you navigate them effectively?

Embracing change is indeed a complex journey, often fraught with emotional ups and downs. Understanding frameworks like Bridge Transition and FIRE models can be transformative, as they not only help us navigate our own feelings but also equip us to lead others through their emotional landscapes. Remember, leadership is about self-awareness; you cannot truly guide your team unless you first understand your own reactions to change. By fostering an environment of open dialogue and inclusion, you empower your team to share their concerns and ideas, creating a culture where change is not just accepted but embraced as a collective opportunity for growth.

One of the most admirable and necessary skills for the coming years is adaptability and flexibility. It needs to be in the mind of every professional that change is something constant and unpredictable from now on, and the tendency is for this scenario to be increasingly volatile. Therefore, changes are inevitable and the sooner we adapt to them, the sooner we will be able to act in order to extract positive results. Lead by example, the people area is a reference within the company and we need to be a mirror so that employees' actions are similar.

The more clarity in communication in times of change, the better! It is interesting to communicate: - the reason for the change - what to expect during the move - what are the next steps and vision that the change will entail Knowing why I should perform a behavior is better than being forced to do it just because it is an order. Is it the same as the maxim that if we explain the reason before making a request, the chance of it being accepted is greater? Well, follow that line.

The HR area needs to be a fundamental part of strategic planning that involves major changes. People are the key to every institution and preparing them for what is to come with support and resources will help the moment. Keep in mind that people's success is the company's success.

Support needs to be unconditional, through feedback, meetings, training... do your best to make the employee feel that they are being supported during the change. There are certain changes that provoke extreme emotions apart from the fact that we don't know what all employees are going through, so being kind and helpful is more than just complementary, it is essential.

Not even Jesus pleased everyone, imagine business changes! Jokes aside, it's always expected to those who will go against what is being imposed and is normal. Human beings are animals and due to critical situations, they flee or fight. The best way to deal with yourself is to let your frustrations and discomforts be expressed so you can work on your concerns.
