What must we do to bring about a Change initiative as smoothly as possible?

Communicate! Communicate! Communicate!

How much, and for how long do we do this?

Until we get sick and tired of the sound of our own voice – then we take a deep breath and a drink of water and we start all over again. Communication isn’t something that stops and starts; it’s a constant activity before, during and after any Change initiative.

This isn’t exactly news. We sort of get this. I can ask any audience in the world to tell me the ‘secret’ to good Change and they repeat back “Communicate, Communicate and Communicate some more!” as if it’s been forcefully injected into their cerebellum.

The problem arises when the questioning becomes a bit more detailed, “What exactly should we communicate?”

The response to that question is usually either a blank stare or the reasonable recitation of the reporter’s standby; Who, What, Where, When, How and Why. Not a bad start.

If we’re writing a news article, then these are good solid questions. The Change Management problem requires all of those, and a few others besides. It’s not that the reporter’s questions are a poor tool; it’s just that they don’t address the peculiar psychology of the Change challenge.

Gain the following knowledge & skills & be able to:

• Design a communication plan to address the real concerns of the Target Audience
• Respond appropriately to concerns regarding the Change in order to avoid reinforcing those concerns
• Install support structures to shorten the transition period
• Respect the existing status quo before replacing it with another
• Minimize the pain of change in order to make it easier to embrace
• Recognize why celebrating a transition is not just a reason to throw a party

The talent market today is dynamic and in flux. As human resources and talent acquisition leaders we need to be prepared to address changes head on, especially in order to be able to tackle what’s NOT working.

At the end of last year, Sevenstep commissioned a job search study through The Harris Poll to find out more about the likes and dislikes of U.S. employees and job seekers.

When asked to select all that apply when considering which parts of looking for a new job they like the least, we found that:

• 41 % of employees and job seekers said going through multiple interviews is their least favorite part of looking for a new job
• 33 % said going through lengthy interviews is their least favorite part
• 32 % said waiting for feedback after an interview and knowing where they stand in the interview process is their least favorite part
• 30 % said filling out/submitting applications is their least favorite part
• 29 % said the length of the hiring process from applying to receiving an offer is their least favorite part
• 28 % said writing or updating their resume is their least favorite part of looking for a new job

Conversely, 9 in 10 of those same employees and job seekers (92%) shared that they have a dream job in mind, and 84 % reported feeling confident in their ability to find a job.

The barriers in the job search and apply process have not historically curbed confidence levels or the willingness of employees and job seekers to participate in those processes.

But, as recent events have shown us, as senior-level HR and TA leaders, while it is imperative to have long-term vision and plans in place it is equally as important to have short-term flexibility and a level of nimbleness to respond to changing talent needs.

In this webcast, Penny Burnett (LinkedIn profile) Vice President Transformation SevenStep; will cover what’s NOT working in today’s TA environment, as well as provide prescriptive solutions, both short- and long-term, to address changing talent trends.
