Change Management

Change-Management-circle.jpg

Issue: The requirement for teams to grow and adapt, to meet the goals fo the organization, guides how I approach change management. I have worked on many types of change projects, such as::

  • Reimagining onboarding for new managers

  • HR IT platform integrations

  • Employee mobility outcomes coupled with organization downsizing

  • Company and department mergers

  • Initiating new employee development programs tied to Total Rewards

My change management certification not only helps me structure, manage, and maintain change initiatives, but also helps me forecast risks related to employee engagement, department goals, as well as company goals.
