How the Resistance to Change Workshop Works
A step-by-step breakdown of the workshop process
1Introduction
In this opening step, the facilitator welcomes participants and introduces the topic of resistance to change. A poll is conducted to gauge personal feelings about workplace changes, leading into a discussion of common reasons for resistance, such as fear of increased workload or unclear benefits.
2The Change Resistance Challenge
Participants are divided into breakout rooms to discuss personal experiences of resisting change. Each group examines the causes of their hesitation and shares insights about what could have been done to facilitate a smoother transition. The session concludes with a sharing of themes identified across groups.
3Key Strategies for Navigating Change
The facilitator presents three essential strategies for mitigating resistance to change: communicating the purpose, involving the team early in the process, and providing necessary support. Participants engage in a chat discussion to share past experiences that helped them adjust to changes, highlighting the importance of clear communication and support.
