Why is change communication one of the most difficult initiatives a communicator can face today?
Could it be because organizational changes are complex – needing to take into consideration each stakeholder group and individual employee? Or the fact that for change to be successful, senior leaders and managers need to ensure that employees both understand the change and support it?
