1 Acknowledge the emotions

Change can trigger a range of emotions, from excitement to fear, from anger to sadness. These emotions are natural and valid, and they need to be acknowledged and addressed. As a change leader, you can help yourself and others by creating a safe space to express and process these emotions, without judgment or criticism. You can also provide support, empathy, and feedback to help people cope and adapt.

Regular transparent communication and reassurance with contact details for questions and further information including mental health support. Prospective timelines and online ‘Town Halls’ / staff meetings and updates from top tier management.

If you know the reasons for change fatigue, you can do something about it. Change fatigue occurs because people only have a certain amount of energy. Imagine a jar filled with marbles. Each marble represents your energy to make decisions, complete work and tasks and implement projects. With each decision or task, you take a marble out of the jar. The more decisions and the more tasks you have in a day, the faster your jar will empty. And now employees are also expected to learn new things, use new tools, lead in new ways... Of course in addition.... But there is no marble left in our jar for the new. We are tired and remain faithful to familiar patterns and behaviors.

2 Communicate the vision

One of the main causes of change fatigue is a lack of clarity and direction. People may feel lost, confused, or overwhelmed by the scope and pace of the transition. To prevent this, you need to communicate the vision and purpose of the change clearly and consistently. You need to explain why the change is necessary, what the benefits and challenges are, and how the change will affect everyone involved. You also need to listen to the concerns and questions of your stakeholders, and address them with honesty and transparency.

You may have heard "what's in it for me" as a go-to methodology to communicating with impacted individuals. I encourage leaders to ensure they include "what's required of me" to complement the potential benefits. A lot of resistance stems from discomfort with the unknown. Filling in as much detail of the story as you can allows for staff to understand the big picture, rather than create their own narratives for what's at hand.

3 Involve and empower

Another way to reduce change fatigue is to involve and empower your team and other stakeholders in the transition process. You can do this by soliciting their input, feedback, and ideas, and incorporating them into the decision-making and planning. You can also delegate tasks and responsibilities, and provide them with the resources and support they need to succeed. By doing this, you can increase their sense of ownership, commitment, and agency.

Explain the reason for transition and what the steps, procedures and processes are. Communicate the details of people involved and the timelines. If there are any prospective voluntary redundancies, make them known with full employee support and details with contact information

4 Celebrate the milestones

A transition can be a long and complex journey, and it can be easy to lose sight of the progress and achievements along the way. To keep yourself and your team motivated and energized, you need to celebrate the milestones and successes, no matter how big or small. You can do this by recognizing and rewarding the efforts and contributions of your team members, sharing positive feedback and testimonials, and creating opportunities for fun and socialization.

5 Balance the workload

Finally, one of the most important practices for managing change fatigue is to balance the workload and avoid burnout. A transition can be demanding and stressful, and it can take a toll on your physical, mental, and emotional health. To prevent this, you need to prioritize and delegate tasks, set realistic and flexible goals, and monitor and adjust the pace of the change. You also need to take care of yourself and your team by encouraging breaks, rest, and self-care.

In my experience, it’s a really unsettling time with a real possibility of losing your best staff. Regular communication from the top is vital. Honesty and transparency is vital. I have been on both sides of change and the less you share, the more you stand to lose
