Coping With Workplace Change

Course Overview

Change takes many shapes in the workplace. You might face project changes, shifting organizational goals, and job or team restructuring – to name a few. Regardless of what the change is, how does it make you feel? Excited? Anxious? Skeptical?

Most people feel at least a little unsettled by change. Change disrupts the status quo and forces us to try new things. Sometimes, we also have to navigate changes we don’t like or agree with – which can leave us feeling powerless, sad, or angry.

So, how can you make the transition as smooth as possible? In this course, you’ll explore five common reactions to change and identify your emotions. From there, you’ll learn four strategies to embrace change, roll with the punches, and focus on the things within your control. While you can’t always predict or prevent change, you can manage your response.
