Guidance – organisational change- Navigate through changing times

The document, by Prospect, contains practical advice on relevant tools that health and safety representatives can use to increase employee engagement in any change process. Author of the guide, and the union’s health and safety officer, Sarah Page, explained that an increasingly competitive, customer-driven market has driven constant organisational reshaping, such as privatisation, downsizing, and outsourcing.She continued: “These have had profound impacts on the workforce: pressures on work tempo and personal performance, the individualisation of the employment relationship, undercutting opportunities for union organising, and the creation of new psychosocial risk associated with rising levels of stress-related ill health.“Engaging employees not only ensures their expertise and knowledge of the business can be considered but can help mitigate against poorly-managed organisational change and the damage to well-being that it can cause.”The guidance document, Fair change: Prospect guide to organisational change, can be obtained by calling Paula Mitchell on 020 7902 6629.
