No one loves change; especially when it is at their place of work.

When your company is undergoing change, it’s essential to talk to your co-workers. There are ways to deal with change in your workplace by driving conversations that are impactful and lead to greater job satisfaction.

The following strategies can make discussions productive:

1) Listen and be empathetic to others.
It’s important you show compassion and an understanding of your co-workers’ situations.

2) Be actionable and get answers to your questions from management.
Conversations with co-workers may spark questions. Don’t shy away from getting answers.

3) Embrace change and seek opportunity.
Although some people see organizational change as negative–it does not necessarily need to be a bad thing. Look for opportunities to make yourself invaluable.

By focusing on your friendships with co-workers and keeping an open mind, you’ll be primed for success, advancement, and beat feelings of being unmotivated and uninspired.
