Effective Change Management An Interactive One Day Program

“Change is the only constant” – Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher

Why Change Management?

According to Harvard Business Review, 70% of all change initiatives fail. Another study by Towers Watson found that only 25% of change management actions are successful over the long term. All around us, technologies, processes, people, ideas and methods are continuously evolving, affecting the way organizations run their operations.

Developing effective change management skills then becomes not only inevitable, but also critical in today’s dynamic professional world as organizational change becomes more of a norm than an exception.

The Leading Change Management program will give aspiring change agents and managers the tools required to implement changes successfully with positive acceptance throughout the organization.

Program Overview:

The Leading Change Management program is designed to promote excellence in the management of change by introducing participants to the skills required at each step of the change process.

Built on the latest research and practice in North America, this program develops, challenges and inspires leaders to lead successful and rewarding organizational change initiatives.

The concepts and methods learned are immediately usable in the workplace, leading to faster implementation of change projects that achieve and sustain concrete results.

Learning Objectives:

To introduce the step by step change management process and the range of tools and methods available to address change challenges and problems
To provide insight on relevant, practical and applicable change management skills and equip participants to effectively engage with change processes in the workplace
To improve awareness and confidence for using change management tools and models required to design appropriate change plans for the workplace

The Nature of Change
Drivers of Change
Vision and Mission of Change
Eight Steps to Effective Change Management

Course Description:

Anyone in a position of managing or leading others will benefit from the message delivered by these managing performance training. 

This training set out to help you to manage the performance of your workforce through common sense techniques that focus on the effective use of communication and goal setting to improve productivity and increase morale and motivation. 

The session will steer away from the procedural, form-filling approach to performance management/appraisals and instead focus on the skills required to effectively cooperate with team members, develop their skills and ensure they feel incentivised to succeed. With the techniques outlined in this training course you will feel empowered to enhance the performance of your team and begin to collaborate with them to improve their behaviors and ability in their role. 
Course Contents:
Managing Performance to Increase Productivity with our Quality Training

Management is ultimately about getting things done through others. Without a structured and clear approach to managing performance, where employees know what is expected of them and how they should approach their role, a manager is unable to effectively meet the level of productivity that is required. This will reflect badly on them and can impact on their own development. 

Therefore, managing performance can be one of the single most important things for a manager to get right. This requires a goal-focused, common-sense approach to working with employees that ensures they are motivated and focused on success.

These ‘Managing Performance’ training course materials will provide you with everything you need to develop the skills and build the confidence of your management audience.
 
Ultimately, the aim of these managing performance training course materials is to ensure you have the knowledge and skills to help you develop a team of high performing employees that are focused on success.
Course Topics:
The Importance of Managing Performance – Establishing the key elements to a managing performance approach, why this is important and the benefits it can have for a manager. 

Making Performance Management Work – Changing current perceptions to performance management and highlighting the key factors that will help make it a success for managers. 

Setting Goals – Identifying what makes goal setting work and how it underpins the entire managing performance process. Linking goal setting to record keeping to ensure effective processes.

Reasons for Poor Performance – Highlighting the underlying factors behind poor performance and individual mindsets. 

Helping Poor Performers – Focusing on behaviour and results – translating ‘attitude’ to observed behaviours and looking to create improvement opportunities. Activities that review specific workplace scenarios. 

Developing Average Performers – Knowing values and motivators, what drives performers and how to get the best out of their performance whilst still encouraging them. 

Guiding High Performers – Establishing boundaries, creating opportunities, giving feedback and knowing when to praise. 

Managing Conflict and Discipline – Resolving conflict issues and embracing the opportunity disagreement can provide. Looking at the key components of discipline and following a set structure for implementation. 

The ‘DESC’ Model – Provision of a communication model that assists participants with structuring conversations around performance issues.

Performance Conversations – A practical activity following theoretical set-up that allows participants to practice and review the skills of effective performance communication.

Setting workplace boundaries to improve your wellbeing

Many people struggle to set boundaries because of a niggling fear that they will be letting people down, upsetting authority or come across as difficult. But healthy boundaries are essential to look after our wellbeing and therefore our effectiveness at work. 

Some of the keys to setting great boundaries are knowing what you want (or don't want), why that matters to you and being able to communicate that to others in an assertive way - confident but friendly. And there are tools to help you achieve this. 

What you will get from this 60-minute session:

Understanding the different types of boundaries we set and understanding your current patterns and preferences.
Strategies for feeling more confident and assertive - ready to have workplace conversations about boundaries.
Guidance on how to assertively and diplomatically put boundaries in place and ask for what you want. 
Tips on how to say no in a way that feels comfortable for you
Support in action planning the boundaries you want to strengthen in your work.

And we’ll end with a visualisation to help you build your confidence.

Presentation - Corporate Sponsorship by Jane Montague

Session aimed at corporate fundraisers.

_ _ _

One of the big conversations Jane seems to be having with hospice clients is how much other hospices are asking for sponsorship of events?

We've asked Jane to run a forum on this very topic to help HIGN members have conversations about what is working and what we're asking of our corporate partners.

Some of the topics we'll be talking about are:

What corporate sponsorship opportunities are you offering your partners?
What added extras are you providing and what are the corporates asking for?
How much are you charging for sponsorship and on what events?
What are some of your wins AND, equally important, what hasn't gone as you've expected?

After the success of the corporate volunteering session that Jane ran last year, this talking forum will be invaluable for HIGN members. Please come ready to share and take part.

Hospice Income Generation Network

Thu 13 Mar 2025 - Corporate Sponsorship

In the UK, 25% of people have a disability. This means, on average, 1 in every 4 of your clients, customers or employees will have a disability.
People often underestimate this number because 80% of disabilities are hidden or invisible, meaning you can’t see them. People also often assume that most people with disabilities are pensioners when in fact 80% of people acquire a disability when they are of working age.
This interactive two hour workshop will use the social model of disability as a framework to demonstrate how understanding disability and embracing inclusivity can significantly benefit your business.

Event details:
Date: Thursday 13th March 2025
Time: 12:00pm - 2:00pm
Location: Online (ZOOM)
For: This workshop is for businesses based in North Essex (Braintree, Chelmsford, Colchester, Maldon, and Tendring)

Why disability matters to your business:
The Purple Pound: Disabled people and their families have a substantial spending power – an estimated £274 billion per year in the UK. By making your business accessible and inclusive, you tap into this significant market.
Enhanced brand reputation: Demonstrating a commitment to inclusivity enhances your brand image and attracts people who value social responsibility. 
Attract top talent: A diverse and inclusive workplace attracts and retains skilled employees, giving you a competitive edge in the North Essex job market.
Increased employee morale: When employees feel valued and respected, morale and productivity improve.

In this interactive workshop, you will:
Explore the Social Model of Disability: Understand how societal barriers create disability, not individual impairments.
Identify and address barriers: Explore common barriers faced by disabled people in accessing your products or services, such as inaccessible websites, limited physical access, and inadequate customer service.
Learn inclusive language and terminology and the skills to navigate conversations about disability with greater respect and sensitivity.
Challenge unconscious bias: Examine your own assumptions and biases regarding disability and learn strategies to account for their impact.

Interactive workshop elements will include:
Engaging group discussions: Share experiences and best practices with other business owners.
Case studies: Analyse real-world examples of businesses that have successfully embraced inclusivity.
Q&A sessions: Ask questions and receive expert guidance from the webinar host.

Meet the Host:
Michelle Scicluna - Founder of The Disability Force

Michelle approaches her workshops with compassion, believing that people genuinely want to do the right thing, but often lack the knowledge to be able to do so. This is because historically and as a society, we haven’t done disability particularly well. The key to doing disability better lies in understanding and applying the social model of disability which focuses on removing societal barriers rather than focusing solely on individual impairments.
Michelle shares her own lived experience as a disabled woman to help bring workshops to life. Acquiring a disability in her late 20s, Michelle knows what it was like to live without a disability and then find yourself suddenly navigating life with barriers you didn’t even understand existed.
Michelle now uses her own journey, combined with her expertise as an evidence-based disability and inclusive leadership coach - certified by the University of Cambridge - to help businesses create more inclusive business and workplace practices and policies.
Please let us know if you have any accessibility requirements to help you get the most out of this online workshop and we will do our best to accommodate your needs where we can.
