Managing Change

Managing change is one of the most difficult tasks that human resource practitioners must perform. It becomes more difficult when individual interests supersede organisation interests. This can easily cause organisation conflicts, if it is poorly managed. In addition, a person who implements the proposed changes can be in a very difficult time in terms of labour relations. Employees claim that the human resource department does not protect them when changes are introduced in an organisation. It is because some of the employees might lose their jobs. But in my opinion, I believe that organisation change is inevitable and therefore we cannot escape from it. The organisation should aim at enabling the organisation to achive its objectives and not putting major focus on achieving individual interests.  Do human resource practitioners intend to fire employees by introducing organisation changes? Or do we have to resist changes in an organisation in order to protect the employees? What is your stand on this?
