Gartner research shows that 57% of employees encounter significant barriers in their day-to-day work. Some of these barriers likely stem from the amount of change in today’s environment — the average employee experienced 12 organisational changes in 2019, ranging from major transformations like restructuring or executive leadership transitions to more day-to-day, but still highly disruptive, changes such as moving to a new team or manager.
An open source change approach, where HR leaders involve the right employees as active participants in making and shaping change decisions, reduces the risk that employees will become fatigued by 50%, over a traditional top-down approach.
