Organizational Change

Organization changed happens due to internal or external needs of the organization. Because of the changing conditions and the new needs of the customers the organization must evolved to keep up with the other competitors. Organizational change usually is speaking to the change of the culture, or even roles within an organization. This sometimes can also refer to restructuring as a result of bankruptcy.

Normally, organization change for the good and benefits of the organization but sad to say sometimes for the employees who are affected by changes may not be good for them. Due to change, some employee’s services might not be needed anymore so the change is not good for those affected employees. It needs a powerful force for a company to be change. It also needs a clear vision on where the new direction of the organization.

Most of the scenario where there is change is when the organization has a new management; normally there will be a lot of movement between positions and there are a lot of new people (work force) coming in the organization. This will lead sometime so disorientation since they try to cope up with each other or trying to follow the new culture that the new management is going to implement in the work place. The other scenario will be if the company is losing and it needs an abrupt decision or course of actions. Normally the solution is changing the business operations or replaces the people who will execute the business operations more efficiently. The third scenario will be, if the company sees a new opportunity to widen the business operations. In order to grab that opportunity, the company must adopt to it and therefore the organization much undergone a transition to meet the new demands of that opportunity.

Organizational change must be initiated by the higher management for the lower positions to follow it without or hesitation on their part. Since the confidence an trust of the employees are on them.

Where I worked before and now, I have seen a lot of change. Almost all of the change I seen is for the betterment of our Organization. And you know; not only the organization benefits from the changed but also a lot of employee are great full of it. It is normal that the employees are so hesitate what might the change might bring or there are doubts on the back of their mind. But as soon the transitions starts and they taste the sweetness it might bring to the employee and as well as to the company they will work hard to finish the transition.

"Change is hard because people overestimate the value of what they have—and underestimate the value of what they may gain by giving that up."

But for me, no doubt that the Organization must change to sees new opportunity and keep up the demand of this ever changing world and economy. Clients always needs something new.
