Workplace Learning

Reading an article called "Coping with Change in the Workplace" discuss methods for handling employees and business matters with the changes in the economy. Some of these methods were communicating early and often, acknowledge emotions, name the game, and preparing managers. This article states that if a company know ahead of time that its company and employees are going to go through changes then to allow the corporate leaders to prepare managers for what they are about to witness with the change of emotions with the employees. It also goes in details about how the managers should communicate with all employees about upcoming decision making and/or new products. This method will prevent rumors from starting and allowing employees to leave because they do not know what is going on in their workplace. I know that these methods can be very effectives because once working for a company that made changes during economic distress caused a big lay off at random times in the work week. These steps makes employees have less security with their positions. Having less security results to lack of good performance in the work atmosphere.
