Virtual change management
When work happens remotely, what needs to happen with change?
With telework here to stay, managing change virtually to achieve strategic initiatives is a whole new challenge. Traditional practices that rely on in-person engagement no longer apply. That is why we have reimagined change management for remote work, a trend that is here to stay. Because as ways of working evolve, ways of engaging employees in change must evolve too.
What is virtual change management?
Change is challenging in a virtual environment. There are no in-person conversations to spread change organically. Leaders cannot champion change face-to-face with employees. And it takes technology to connect and collaborate. Skillfully managing virtual teams becomes paramount. Virtual change management accounts for all of these realities to engage employees in successful and sustained change. Organizations benefit because they deliver their strategic initiatives, strengthen their cultures, and realize the powerful business outcomes they need to thrive.
