Change Management - Employee Behaviour

Jun



One of the most challenging aspects of any change programme is the way in which the employee behaviours are addressed. Changing employee's behaviour and improving their performance is a critical part of the change management process.

“If it is difficult to change the behaviour of people so they are healthier and live longer, how difficult will it be to change employee workplace behaviour”

To solve the employee behaviour problem, the organisation must Recognise there is an issue. The new behaviours need to be Redesigned, a Resolution made to implement them, Replicate them and Reinforce the new way.

Our a2B5R® Model systematically supports the transition of the employee behavioural change from the current state 'a' to the future state 'B'. The model specifically supports the a2BCMF® Step 8 - Develop New Skills and Behaviours. During the definition step the few new critical behaviours will have been defined and they will be developed along with the new skills.  The a2B5R® Model is based on over thirty years of international change experience and brings together leading practice in employee behaviour change. 

“While adopting change it is important to learn the new skills, but sometimes the new behaviours are critical” 

Change Management Behaviour - Leadership of Change® Volume 6:

This change management book focuses on how to achieve employee behaviour change which can be a critical part of successful organisational change. Sometimes a major organisation changes or transformation relies on employee behaviour change on safety, legal or financial compliance, improved customer service, following new processes or using new systems or there could be problems on bullying, fraudulent activities, etc. Occasionally if you do not change employee behaviour, you will not get organisational change.

 

The Leadership of Change® Volume 6, focuses on how to achieve employee behaviour change in a major organisation change or transformation using the a2B5R® Employee Behaviour Change Model. The a2B5R® Model outlines the five key life cycle stages of the change transition that change teams should take their organisation and employees through. The first stage is to get the organisation and its employees to Recognise there is a behaviour issue. Then the new behaviours need to be Redesigned, a Resolution made to implement them, then Replicate them and finally Reinforce the new way. Change implementation focuses on aligning employees, processes, systems and leaders, it is also supported by the a2B Change Management Framework® (a2BCMF®).
