Key Takeaways

Certainly in the HR sector, change has been drastic and widespread. New laws, methodologies and guidelines have swept in. Consequently, this has caused us to completely re-evaluate our working lives going forward.
Never mistake silent denial for silent commitment. For example, don’t assume that someone has bought into something merely because they have not voiced an objection or opinion.
Concerns raised in the workplace must always be at least acknowledged and heard. Indeed, activating a conversation will cause the person to self-regulate through the change curve.
A different future requires a different vision. Certainly, we cannot hope to rush out to a new normality with no changes in place. Look for personal benefits to the many.
