How do you manage change - and avoid the most common pitfalls?
Change rarely fails because there are no plans - but because people are left out. Guidin helps ensure that change happens at the people level, in a timely and effective way.
Could Guidin help your transformation?
- We always anchor what we do to the client's own change timeline and the data we collect.
- We collect real-time data on staff experience, emotional climate and capabilities.
- We identify emerging challenges in time and target measures in the right place.
- We drive change with knowledge and strengthen the way we do things in a solution-oriented and people-centred way.
Examples of change situations where we can help
Change negotiations, how to move forward?
Targeted communication and support
Data collected by Guidin reveals employees' concerns about their future and distrust of management. Management responds with open communication, explaining the reasons and objectives of the change negotiations. Frontline managers are supported and trained to have individual conversations with their team members, offering support and answering questions during the change process.

A new strategy, but will anything change?
Targeted communication and support
Guidin's measurements show that employees do not understand the impact of the strategy on their work. Management uses this information to tailor communications to clarify the concrete impact of the strategy for different teams. Frontline staff are coached to have constructive conversations with their teams about the relevance of the strategy and the changes it will bring.

Deployment of the system
Targeted communication and support
Guidin's analysis reveals that employees are concerned about the impact of the new system on the quality of service they receive from customers. They fear that using the system may reduce the personalisation and effectiveness of customer encounters. Management will use this information to clarify the benefits of the system and its role in improving customer service without compromising the customer experience. Front-line staff will be given the tools to discuss with their teams the concerns raised by the implementation of the system and provide support in adopting the new system.

Capabilities supporting the strategy
Targeted communication and support
Guidin's measurements show that employees feel uncertain about the impact of the strategy on their own work and fear that their skills will not be sufficient to meet the new demands. Management uses this information to communicate clearly about the objectives of the strategy and how the new capabilities will support the success of the organisation. Frontline managers will be equipped to discuss with their teams the concerns raised by change and to support staff in developing new competencies.

The transition to hybrid work
The organisation is moving to a hybrid working model, but employees are unclear about the new practices and how to work together. The combination of remote and local working poses challenges for teamwork.
Targeted communication and support
Guidin's analysis reveals that employees feel confused about new working practices and fear being left out. Management uses this information to create clear guidelines for hybrid working and communicates them consistently. Frontline staff are given the tools and support to engage with their teams in discussions about new practices, ensuring that everyone understands their role and feels included.
