Managing
change is a crucial step in any major organizational change. All
employees need to understand change individually, and supervisors
and managers need to also know how to navigate their units through
the change for while maximizing individual productivity and organizational
performance. To better deal with change, individuals need so understand
the need for the change and its objectives, understand the evolution
of change, and how to institutionalize the change.

Resources for Change and Change Management
We have listed a wide variety of resources
for the employee and the agency, to assist in transition. These
resources include a "Top
Ten" link that includes several lists from coaches, counselors,
and HRD professionals. We have also provided a bibliography
of change-related books, and many links to articles
on change and change management.
Assessments
It is helpful to assess the current condition of an organization
before undergoing a major change. It is also helpful for an individual
to know how they deal with change, and how ready they are to experience
change. We have provided several links to assessments
that are geared both toward the individual and the organization
experiencing change.
