Change Management: Navigating Organizational Transitions

Organizational change—whether restructures, layoffs, leadership shifts, or new priorities—creates stress and uncertainty for everyone. While the disruption can feel overwhelming, change follows a predictable process, and the difficult Transition phase is a normal part of it. This microlesson helps employees understand where they are in the change cycle and provides practical strategies to stay grounded, focused, and well during periods of instability.

Microlesson Description

Learners will explore how to manage stress by focusing on what they can control, avoid unproductive speculation, and ask clarifying questions about evolving responsibilities. The lesson also reinforces the importance of boundaries—taking breaks, fully logging off, and creating small daily habits that restore stability and a sense of agency in uncertain times.
