Change-ready employees are essential

Ask any big company or organisation about what change management means to them, and they will say it is key element in their strategic plan, planning for change and being prepared for it. Up until this point in time, it has not been a business planning imperative for many women entrepreneurs, particularly those with small to medium sized businesses. However, in this uncertain economic climate, having people around you  who are able to respond well to change, who are adaptable, and real team players, is essential. The new workplace requires that every team member knows how to adapt to changing circumstances quickly and effectively, being able to pivot where necessary to meet the demands of the market. Women entrepreneurs need to know they have resilient, change-ready employees who are capable of responding to change as it happens. The ability to be able to accept and react to change positively and proactively, and importantly be part of the solution, is now being seen as an essential skill.
