Milestone One
Since our organization’s recent acquisition by Alpha Plastics the leadership has noticed a decline in the company’s performance. To turn performance around there are some changes that the organization has made and a few other changes the organization will be making. One of those
changes will be the organization’s transition to a three-shift operation. The role of HR specifically in facilitating, developing the team, and tracking work in this transition will be that of change manager navigator. In other words, HR will “identify options, monitor progress, and navigate a way through this uncertainty, ambiguity, and complexity” (Palmer et al., 2022). Moving to shift work will be new to the organization. Be assured during this transition HR will provide “clear and consistent communication throughout this entire change process” (TriNet Team, 2023). HR will remain in place to explain how this transition will take place and will also “be available to meet with employees who have questions or concerns about any element of this process” (TriNet Team, 2023). HR will remain on top of monitoring the progress or even lack thereof throughout this change. Management will receive regular feedback from HR spelling out employee concerns, issues, and questions. The change management process is used by organizations “to implement changes through
building and delivering effective change strategies. It includes reviewing reasons for change, implementing changes, and helping people adapt to those changes” (Coursera Staff, 2023). An example of the change management process is a company merger or acquisition. Mergers and acquisitions may mean layoffs, a change in work structure, or even the implementation of new departments. During this change consistent communication and reassuring of employees will be necessary. Another example of the change management process is the use of new technology in an organization. The new technology is not the only change in this scenario. There will be an

increased level of training required for those in the organization to properly use it. This may also require additional staff to be brought in. There may be some staff so resistant to the new technology that they choose to leave. This then changes the workplace culture or dynamic. “Change management processes are all-encompassing” (Coursera Staff, 2023). A recommended relationship building process with all managers and informal leaders is to seek input and involvement. “Asking for advice, feedback, or ideas, and involving them in decision-making or problem-solving processes” (LinkedIn Community, 2023), is a good way to build positive working relationships and a high level of trust. Inviting one another to meetings and presentations aids in building a strong relationship. Also publicly praising and sharing one another’s accomplishments aids in building relationships. Seeking others’ advice and opinions in business shows you acknowledge their skills and experience. The success of the relationship will be tracked based on how much more trust is gained and shown through continued discussions and advice seeking. Regularly coming to one another to collaborate on projects, decisions, and additional assignments will prove that the relationship is one which is valued, respected, and wanted. There is no perfect way to communicate this change to the organization. There are going to be some staff who are against shift work altogether. This will not be because the organization will not provide adequate information and list benefits to moving to shift work. Instead, it will simply be because some people do not like change. Nonetheless, the decision has been made and must be communicated. Therefore, the best way to communicate this change will be to provide clear, honest, and open communication to the organization. There will be a mix of “spray and pray” (Palmer et al., 2022), along with some “underscore and explore” (Palmer et al., 2022). Although feedback from the staff is always valued in this scenario there is no time to obtain

Jackson: Hi team, this week we’ll use this forum to discuss our performance review system. Specifically, we want to explore the benefits and drawbacks about the timing of our reviews. Currently, our reviews are conducted annually. The HR team wants to know what we think about quarterly reviews. The HR team wants us to share our views with them by September 10.
Cynthia: I’ve never experienced quarterly reviews before, so it’s hard for me to say if that’s better. My hunch is quarterly reviews would be more fair and helpful. But, I also assume they take a lot of extra time for our managers. @Erin I think your last company held quarterly reviews. What are your experiences with more frequent reviews? Has anyone else worked at a company with more frequent reviews? Tell us what it was like.
