‘Don’t rock the boat.’ ‘Keep your head down, it’ll all blow over.’ ‘They must be joking. They’ll never get that to work in a month of Sundays.’ Comments you might hear from people who are facing change. The way we respond to change and the way change in implemented are major factors in determining the level of pressure we are under and the amount of stress we feel.
Through plenary instruction and discussion in this training activity, participants learn about the change process and the relationship between change and stress. Working on their own, they go on to relate these learning points to their own job. You may choose to end the training activity there. Alternatively, participants then work in groups of four or five on a case study which focuses on how those who are introducing change can minimise the stress it causes.
Who is it for: This training activity is intended for use by trainers, using a series of exercises, to illustrate to participants the impact of change and to explore ways to minimise the stress caused by change.

Purpose: This training activity is intended for use by trainers with participants who are facing change and who are responsible for implementing it. As change so often gives rise to ‘blame’ and the need for support, this training activity can be usefully extended with the activities, ‘Blame? Who’s to blame?’ and ‘Seeking support.’
