Overcoming
your workforce’s
resistance to change
With the rapid rate of
technological growth,
drastic change within
the workplace has
become routine in
modern business culture.

“The speed of software deployment is greater
than the individual speed of behavior change.”

“70% of change initiatives fail to achieve their
goals, largely due to employee resistance.”
McKinsey & Company
© 2019 AppLearn®
All rights reserved
It’s inherently difficult for
organizations to overcome
people’s natural resistance
to change, especially
when change occurs so
frequently in the workplace.

All rights reserved© 2019 AppLearn®
All rights reserved
However, it is possible;
the key is providing
enough support and
communication
throughout the entire
change process.
© 2019 AppLearn®
All rights reserved
Your messaging and delivery is key.

All rights reserved
The message
© 2019 AppLearn®
All rights reserved
One generalized support
message will not suffice.
© 2019 AppLearn®
All rights reserved
The software changes you’re implementing
won’t affect every employee in the same way; as
a result, you can’t expect one generalized
message to sufficiently prepare each employee.
© 2019 AppLearn®
All rights reserved
Taking the time to consider the effect the
change will have on your employees, provides
you with the tools to settle any worries and
enhance the overall perception.

Most organizations have
the challenge of an email
immune audience.
Traditional communication methods such
as emails have a low open rate with the
actual message often getting lost.
© 2019 AppLearn®
All rights reserved
The solution to this issue is to use a variety of
trackable channels to push your message. Using both
in-application and out-of-application communications
are necessary to raise awareness and consumability.
© 2019 AppLearn®
All rights reserved
The inbuilt human resistance to change is
a massive hurdle for organizations, that can
often be detrimental to change initiatives.
© 2019 AppLearn®
All rights reserved
© 2019 AppLearn®
All rights reserved
But, by creating a bespoke
message and expanding
your communication
streams, you can
overcome the inbuilt
human resistance to
change, maximizing user
adoption and ROI.
