Step 1 - Identify the hazards

Change

How organisational change (large or small) is managed and communicated in the organisation

The standard is that:

• Employees indicate that the organisation engages them frequently when undergoing an organisational change; and
• Systems are in place locally to respond to any individual concerns.

What should be happening / states to be achieved:

• The organisation provides employees with timely information to enable them to understand the reasons for proposed changes.
• The organisation ensures adequate employee consultation on changes and provides opportunities for employees to influence proposals.
• Employees are aware of the probable impact of any changes to their jobs. If necessary, employees are given training to support any changes in their jobs.
• Employees are aware of timetables for changes.
• Employees have access to relevant support during changes.
