Today, we exist in a very turbulent world, and companies have to change and adapt to outside influences to both prosper and survive.  This can be a very tricky thing for managers to deal with, both as a member of staff, but also as a manager and how they help their staff to cope with the changes.

For any major change in a company, there are several stages that will be gone through:

• Denial
• Anger
• Rationalisation
• Acceptance
• Growth

It is important that managers can recognise these and help staff to cope with them.  A company whose staff are fully aware and prepared for any changes that occurring will always react better to the changes than one where change is sprung upon them.

All the managers within the company need to be in very close communication with each other, making sure that they all work together so that any changes that occur in the company will cause the minimum amount of hassle for their staff.  It is also important that managers notice and deal with any issues that do occur as soon as possible.  Providing management training that covers how to deal with changes within a company is a part of the overall training plan that should not be ignored.
