This activity pack gives managers the insights they need to help people deal with change in the workplace and change in their personal lives which impinge on work. By understanding the stages of change and how people progress through them, participants learn how to support and understand the behaviour and feelings of the people they manage. The activities can be run by trainers and by managers with their teams.
They have been used on a number of programmes including:
