How to support your employees through a cycle of change
Supporting your employees through a cycle of change isn’t easy. In 1969, psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross wrote about the?five stages of grief ?in her book, On Death and Dying.?
Since then, the Kübler-Ross model has been applied in much wider contexts where change is imposed upon us - most recently, how people dealt with (and adapted to) the effect Covid-19 has had on lives and livelihoods globally.
But her change curve is not just limited to death and superbugs, it can be applied to job losses, too.
Understanding the effects of change on your employees
As an employer, understanding the phases that your team is likely to go through and the emotions they experience (which aren’t necessarily linear) can help you communicate and tailor support in the right way.
Crucially, for?redundancy , it will sharpen your focus on supporting outgoing employees prepare for change, accept the situation and free them from any feelings of guilt. It also places you, as employer, in a more favourable light, protecting your brand and your reputation.
