Change is often planned because of conflict between the desired and actual state of affairs. Conflict may arise because of difficulties in reaching performance goals or because new goals have been created (Sullivan & Decker, 2009). Making these changes in the workplace is stressful for everyone involved including the staff, the management, and the consumer. The role of the staff is vital for the change process to be smooth and the staff may be resistant to the changes, causing a systematic breakdown. It is the

In my previous place of employment there was pretty significant changes taking place. A long term care unit was transitioning into a sub acute rehabilitation unit. The workers on this unit were unhappy about the changes and management was not discussing with them the reasons behind it and the upcoming changes. As a unit coordinator I was able to apply what I have learned in this program about most care transitioning into the community rather than the hospital. Through studies in this program we have learned that more individuals will be seeking care in the community and the care provided in the community will be more acute. When I described this to the employees they seemed more receptive to the changes. As time passed we began to see more acute patients entering our

The most recent change I experienced was when I was working at BlackBerry, when I was working in the device section and one day, I was told that I was moved into the automation group. I had only worked at BlackBerry for half a year at this point and just as I was becoming familiar with my system, I was asked to change.
