Change

Change is:

• how organisational change (large or small) is managed and communicated within the University
• how you cope with this change

Situation that may lead to stress

Changes in market demands, technology and organisational structure may make you feel uncertain and insecure.

What can be done to reduce stress

Where changes are anticipated every effort is made by the University management to communicate/consult with all those affected and to discuss and to resolve issues together. You should openly discuss the effects of change with your line manager and colleagues and keep abreast of developments within the University that are communicated to you.

The ideal situation

Your manager and the University invites your opinions before implementing organisation change and keeps you informed of progress during the change. You are given time to adjust to the changes.
