In this episode, we're going to talk about HR and change management.
2
I know a few HR professionals who are passionate about this,
3
but why and why does that passion matter?
4
What is that passion about?
5
That's coming up now.
6
Hi there, I'm Andrea Adams,
7
the host of HR Shop Talk.
8
On the show, you get expert insight into HR.
9
I encourage you to subscribe to the show or the podcast to keep learning from my guests.
10
Today, my guest is Melanie Peacock.
11
Melanie is an HR professor,
12
an HR consultant, a keynote speaker,
13
and recently she's become a fellow with CPHR Alberta.
14
I'm excited to have her.
15
Hi, Melanie, how are you?
16
Hi, Andrea.
17
I'm great, thanks.
18
Excited to be here.
19
Thank you for today.
20
Yeah, thank you for coming on.
21
And if it's even half as good as the last one, it'll be amazing.
22
Okay, Okay, so we're going to talk about change management though now.
23
So can you talk in a general sense about HR's role in change management?
24
So first of all, this is the time where we should hear,
25
actually be able to hear it.
26
It should be palpable, the collective eye rolling of the audience.
27
Like what?
28
We're going to talk about change management?
29
Like really?
30
Aren't there enough books out there about it?
31
Aren't there enough podcasts?
32
Aren't there enough like little articles I can read? like wow
33
we never change talking about change oh yeah let's let's get
34
that elephant in the room out there
35
or as i like to say the peacock in the room
36
it's out there it's spreading its fingers feathers we're proud spoiler
37
alert this is why we need to talk about it
38
so please don't turn off the the channel as hr professionals
39
when it comes to change management we are given lots of responsibility.
40
We're held accountable for many,
41
many parts of change management and we are given zero authority.
42
This is the difference.
43
This is why when you pick up all these change management textbooks
44
and they say do this and do this and you read that and go that's nice but I can't do that.
45
I'm not a leader, at least not entitled, not the capital L.
46
You are a leader by the way,
47
small leadership but that kind of leadership particularly during times of change management require a very distinct
48
and differentiated strategy and different competencies
49
and resources that's why we need to have this conversation
50
so we have no authority in you know over the elements of change management
51
so then what are what are we supposed to do we are supposed to guide influence
52
convince impact notice i'm choosing these words very carefully
53
and they are powerful words and let me tell you
54
when done correctly hr professionals will do all of this
55
and more we will be really able to help fulfill an organization and people's potential during times of change.
56
We're also helping keeping the calm.
57
We're also helping create the storm.
58
Boy, what a paradox.
59
I could chat more about that.
60
But with all of those things,
61
that's what will make change successful.
62
That impact, that influence, the guiding,
63
the small leadership that we do,
64
it's just amazing to me and so powerful.
65
Okay, so I have a couple questions arising out of that.
66
The first one is, well,
67
okay, we have to talk about that paradox of,
68
you know, creating calm and creating the storm.
69
Okay, so tell me about that.
70
Okay, so I'm going to reverse it if I may.
71
Talk about reverse creating the storm first.
72
So for change to effectively happen,
73
we have to increase dissatisfaction with the status quo.
74
What?
75
Did she just say we have to increase dissatisfaction?
76
We have to make people unhappy?
77
And now you'll see why I'm in HR and not marketing.
78
That would be quite the campaign, right?
79
Making people unhappy since 1971.
80
Yay!
81
Sign me up!
82
But we need to, this is creating the storm.
83
We need to show people palpably in non-threatening,
84
non-harsh or hostile ways why the current situation is no longer valid or realistic or can continue.
85
That's increasing dissatisfaction with the status quo.
86
And in doing that, we're creating a storm.
87
The other part of creating the storm is we have to listen to people's concerns.
88
I've worked with so many people that I walk in and they'll say,
89
this change is going great.
90
I'm so excited.
91
And I'll say, wonderful.
92
How do you know it's going great?
93
nobody's complaining i'm hearing nothing and i'm like egads
94
that is the kiss of death you're hearing nothing it doesn't mean it's going well in fact getting
95
that negative feedback getting those concerns getting those points of resistance
96
out into the open is part of creating the storm
97
and often that will be hr's role we're the ones
98
that have the contacts we're the ones who are pervasive to access with people across the organization.
99
We have this way access,
100
this way access, you know, vertically and horizontally.
101
So we'll create the storm by bringing some troubling things to the surface,
102
which can then get resolved.
103
Right?
104
So that's part of creating the storm.
105
We resolve the storm by all those things,
106
by the appropriate communication, by making sure that people understand what's the vision for this change.
107
You might not be the ones communicating it,
108
but we would ask questions to those that do the communication.
109
So we provide them with the resources.
110
We've got them to ruminate and think and ponder.
111
Oh, maybe I should consider that.
112
Oh, maybe I need to tell people that.
113
If we ask the right questions to those that are creating the vision and sharing the vision,
114
that's where we can calm the storm.
115
So in doing some research for this episode,
116
you, I discovered and you told me about it,
117
that you've written a book of sorts,
118
but you also within that wrote about practical tools to help HR manage change.
119
Can you tell us about some of the most important tools?
120
Thank you, Andrea.
121
So yeah, this shameless self-promotion,
122
it's available through business experts,
123
press and it's called the HR Professionals Guide to Change Management.
124
It's actually a short little short little booklet.
125
Easy read but it walks you through practical steps to do exactly some of that creating the storm,
126
welding the storm.
127
So there is an actual formula that's been well researched
128
and used by HR professionals during times of change and wow first of all let's pause for a minute
129
because it's so counterintuitive.
130
Did she just say, let's use a formula to deal with it?
131
Yeah, right.
132
That's not very humane.
133
That's not a good human resource professional.
134
Since then do we have to do math?
135
Math, not math.
136
Let's say, well, get your abacus out
137
and no. The formula is exactly doing some of what I've shared with you and I'm going to elaborate on.
138
One, making sure that the vision is well articulated.
139
So you're saying, I have no authority.
140
How do I do?
141
Those that are sharing the vision,
142
again, you're asking them the questions,
143
you're giving them the tools,
144
you're giving them the feedback, diplomatic right ways.
145
You're finding other ways through effective change agents to make sure that that vision is shared.
146
You're making sure that people understand why the current situation doesn't work.
147
Back to that increasing the dissatisfaction with the status quo,
148
which also helps people understand the whiffums,
149
the what's in it for me.
150
As an HR professional, part of that formula is making sure that as things progress, they're acknowledged.
151
Acknowledging and celebrating the steps along the way is critical.
152
that change momentum, maintaining that drive forward.
153
Now I'm not talking about a ticker tape parade after every milestone is achieved.
154
It can be something as simple as a conversation.
155
It can be something as simple as posting data and sharing data.
156
Look what we've achieved.
157
It can be as simple as ordering a cake,
158
but celebrating and acknowledging steps along the way is critical.
159
All of those things, according to the formula,
160
need to outpower or be greater than points of resistance.
161
So here's another way that HR people add great value during times of change.
162
We are the ones that can often best understand the points of resistance,
163
and they tend to be for people core, personal, or intellectual.
164
Core, I don't trust it.
165
Personal, I don't like it.
166
Intellectual, I don't understand it.
167
And those can overlap and start to mesh together.
168
But as HR professionals, we should be distancing ourselves enough while we're still ensconced in it.
169
Talking about a paradox, we're living in those two continuums.
170
But to understand where those points of resistance are
171
and how we can address this and help those that are actually leading the change address this.
172
If you found this interesting,
173
subscribe to see all the episodes and comment.
174
Today's question is about the storm Melanie was talking about.
175
Have you ever been part of creating the storm in a practical and not threatening kind of way?
176
Tell us about how you went and about and did that in the comment section.
177
So I wanted to just dwell on those qualities you were talking about with respect to resistance,
178
that it's core, personal, and intellectual.
179
I feel like I've read a few change management books and I've never seen it laid out that way,
180
but it makes so much sense.
181
So how do we deal with those things?
182
How do you incorporate that?
183
You know, when we look at intellectual,
184
personal core points of resistance,
185
ultimately change often comes down to people feel that they're losing something.
186
They're losing power.
187
They're losing expertise.
188
They're losing connections.
189
They're losing resources.
190
They're losing legitimate authority.
191
So we have to think about the sense of loss under intellectual,
192
personal, and core points of resistance.
193
And then how do we negate that?
194
And if it's not possible to negate it,
195
how do we be honest about it and minimize it?
196
Because sometimes there will be some loss.
197
But I'll argue, and I'll put forth,
198
and this is great for people listening in to ruminate on,
199
what are people gaining?
200
And why can we not spend a little bit of time on that?
201
Let's think about the outcome,
202
the positives, but let's not ignore the potential losses.
203
So here's something else that's going to be a little bit,
204
I hope people go, hmm,
205
did she just say that?
206
We should spend time during change management talking about what people will lose.
207
Whoa, wait a second.
208
Now that's not, whoa, whoa,
209
whoa, whoa, no, no, no,
210
no, no, no, we don't do that.
211
We talk about everything that's great and what's going to happen and how wonderful it's going to be.
212
Sure, and what that does,
213
I like to call that cheerleading.
214
what
215
that does is it makes us seem out of it it
216
makes us sincere it makes us seem like we don't care about people
217
and we only care about the output when you balance the approach
218
and say look these are potential things that could happen
219
and we are aware of potential concerns
220
and this is how we're going to do our best to minimize
221
or mitigate them and we can't be aware of everything
222
and this how we're creating communication channels so you can share other concerns or points of resistance with us.
223
Yeah, I love the idea.
224
It doesn't happen very often, does it?
225
No, no it does not.
226
And I love the idea of those conversations,
227
you know, just can you imagine the reaction you'd get if you'd like,
228
what do you think you're going,
229
what are you losing out of this?
230
Mind's exploding.
231
Yeah, it's like wow wait a second somebody actually cares about what I have to think about this
232
and oh I never even thought about that some people say
233
that why do you want people to think about
234
that they might not have even they've thought about it on some level they've thought about it no
235
even if they don't know and it's better to illuminate it elevate it bring it to the surface
236
deal with it head on and be truthful about it here's something
237
that seems so simple
238
but wow I've experienced this many times with environments I've worked in you're going to lose your office space even
239
if we're moving to the what you think who cares you move to another office people go crazy over
240
that kind of stuff so address it be honest be forthright you know
241
when you're empathetic and honest during times of change
242
and you encourage again this is what hr professionals could do encourage those leading
243
and guiding the change to do those and to answer those tough questions,
244
it makes for things rolling out so much smoother.
245
The other thing I find that HR professionals,
246
when you ask those that are leading and guiding change the tough questions,
247
sometimes they don't have the answers.
248
And I've worked in situations where the leaders can't give me the answers.
249
But then what happens is they'll often go,
250
wow, I don't know, or I haven't thought about that,
251
or I'm not sure.
252
Maybe now is not the right time for the change.
253
Or maybe we need to do it in a phase.
254
They come to the realization almost themselves through the right impact, influence, guidance, right?
255
Those tools that an HR professional uses.
256
I don't know where I saw this,
257
but I know it comes from you.
258
Is that you said somewhere along the lines,
259
either in your booklet or when we were talking,
260
that we need to consider our own reaction to change.
261
Why?
262
Like, what difference does that make?
263
Yeah, we did have that conversation, Andrea.
264
Yeah.
265
And we have to think about the way we act and interact with other people in times of change.
266
change because as HR people,
267
while we might not have authority,
268
we are showing people, we're role modeling, we're signaling.
269
And if we're saying this is really important,
270
and you've got your arms crossed and you're twitching and you're rolling your eyes,
271
if you can't think about and not,
272
you don't have that self-awareness of how you're coming across to other people and the influence you're having during times of change,
273
you're doing the process a great detriment the other thing too is it's important to understand
274
and i'm still it's an evolving process you know i'm going
275
to be the last person to say i'm great at this i'm still learning i'm still evolving
276
which is great lifelong learning right you know to react
277
when people give you not so good news
278
or they give you points of resistance to not go are
279
you kidding me are you you know you have to be
280
okay let me pause let me listen to what they're saying how i'm acting
281
and interacting with them is going to set the grounds for this ongoing illumination of points of resistance.
282
But here's the rub, not just now, but going forward.
283
If HR professionals come across as disingenuous,
284
as uninformed, as unempathetic during a point of change,
285
going forward, there'll be of little value to an organization.
286
employees and the leaders will remember how you were during that change process and that transition.
287
And if you couldn't be valued and respected and turned to as a great resource,
288
that's not going to happen going forward.
289
So final question.
290
If someone in HR wants to get more involved in change management,
291
what do you recommend?
292
You haven't even mentioned like things like ProSci yet.
293
I'm familiar with ProSci, I'm familiar with some other programs actually.
294
There's many good ones that you can look up and choose what works best for you.
295
So I'm going to be a little facetious or a little tongue in cheek in how I answer that terrific question.
296
How do you get involved in change management as an HR professional?
297
You show up for work
298
because I'm going to say everything we do has an element of change to it as HR professionals.
299
So think about, you know,
300
what skills and the influence,
301
how are you creating the storm in non-hostile, non-dramatic ways?
302
How are you quelling the storm?
303
You know, that's how we as HR professionals, you can read.
304
Of course, I want people to read.
305
That's why I wrote the book as a resource.
306
I love it.
307
And I love reading and but you pick and choose the resources
308
that make sense for you and your organization
309
and your hr practice your style so that you're genuine
310
and authentic and then you do it it's one of those things
311
that you need to practice change management is very cerebral
312
but it's very tapped up you can only think about it for
313
so long and then you have to do it
314
and i'm really just i'm going to put forth
315
that we as HR professionals are constantly involved in change management because we're constantly bringing forth new amendments,
316
ideas, policies, guidelines, procedures, ways of work.
317
It's true, it's true.
318
It's exciting.
319
It is.
320
Some of what comes to mind for me is that,
321
or at least in my case,
322
I felt more often like I was quelling the storm than creating the storm.
323
There'll be a different, that'll be something I'll ruminate on this on afterward.
324
Thanks, Melanie.
325
Well, that was such a refreshing take on change management for HR.
326
I did another episode with Melanie and that episode is right here.
327
Thanks for watching and see you next time.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
