How to Cope with Change and Develop Your Resilience

Understanding The Resistance to Change 

Let's face it, change can be hard. It is uncomfortable to leave the familiar behind and venture into unknown territory. Employees may resist change for several reasons: 

  • Fear of the Unknown: Not knowing what's on the other side can be frightening. 
  • Loss of Control: Change can make people feel that they no longer have a say in their environment. 
  • Bad Past Experiences: If previous changes led to negative outcomes, employees might generalize those experiences. 
  • Comfort with Current Processes: When the current way of doing things seems satisfactory, any disruption may seem unnecessary.

How to Cope with Change and Develop Your Resilience

Change is an inevitable part of life, especially in the fast-paced corporate world. It can come in various forms—organizational restructuring, role changes, new technology implementation, or even shifts in corporate culture. Not every employee is naturally equipped to handle these changes effectively, and resistance can often be a gut reaction. This resistance does not just stifle the individual's growth; it can also be a roadblock to an organization's progress.
