Advantages And Disadvantages Of SAP

However, the largest hurdle that most companies face during the implementation/integration of a new system or process are the users. It is normal to encounter resistance by users, they perceive change as a potential threat to their jobs, and removes them from their routine and/or comfort zone.

It is common knowledge, that some people adapt to change very well and the others don`t. That`s why is so important to support the staff during the change because if they feel supported, they are more likely to be more open to accept changes and adapt to them quickly.

In order to move with the times, the organisation may introduce new equipment or software. Some staff may see this as a positive step that moves the business forward, but some employees may feel anxious about the change, how much it is costing the business and whether it is actually going to improve their role or create more problems.

To be successful, however, everyone has to accept the recommended improvements, from the hands-on worker on the shop floor to upper-level managers and everyone in between. It is essential that any improvements that are implemented are not viewed simply as a program but becomes a way of life for all personnel.

With any change there are many factors involved within the process itself however communication has to be the key factor involved in the change process. Without this you cannot expect line managers or employees to support the change. With communication you need to ensure employees feel positive. It is also good practice the company adapts its style of communication depending on their audience and where they are in the change. Where one style might suit senior management, this might not be appropriate for administrators or cleaners. Communication can have a huge impact on the end result, it can also help to ensure targets are met, everything is kept in control and no employee disregards the change. Lack of communication could lead to frustration and lack of trust with employees.

This can be facilitated through inclusion of employees in the redesign process (i.e. implementation of work teams) and establishment of clear channels of communication within the system. Managing this process of job redesign and change can be successfully implemented through the initiation of a defined process to guide the change and an assigned change leadership team (Resnick, 2012). Through this process not only will the affected employees be allowed to have input to the process that will affect the their individual stake in the organization, they will also have the opportunity to implement substantial and lasting change for the overall system and the culture of then organization.

Each individual employee is responsible for their own personal transition into the new changes. They must also help the organization. If they find problems they must report it to their supervisors. It is up to each employee to be proficient after training and use the change in the daily workplace.

Employees are a fundamental element to successful technochange execution and thus it is vital that managers include them in the change process. An important dynamic in achieving employee acceptance is an emphasis on minimizing disruption to their work and modifying existing procedures and work practices wherever possible.
