Resistance to Change (graded)
CLASS…here is our case study on change for this week. Although a
simple example of a change initiative gone wrong, it offers us many lessons to
explore the full spectrum of change management issues. Focus all your efforts
on this case study this week! I look forward to your comments and analysis in
the threads.
Note: I will add further topics related to resistance and change
as the week unfolds.

Stress Management + Performance Management (graded)
Currently, a quarter of all employees view their jobs as the
number one stressor in their lives, according to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. The World Health Organization describes stress as the
“global health epidemic of the 21st century.” Many of us now work in constantly
connected, always-on, highly demanding work cultures where stress and the risk
of burnout are widespread.
This is a problem that costs U.S. businesses significant losses
in terms of productivity, increases in worker’s compensation claims, increased
turnover, and increased health-care costs. Workers will experience job stress
at some point in their lives. But what effect does it have on our health?
According to new research, work stress damages our health just as much as
exposure to secondhand cigarette smoke. See
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/299142.php and here.
The effects of stress exist on a bell curve (see Video Here) —
that is, some is good, but too much becomes bad: As the nervous system secretes
more and more stress hormones, performance increases, but up to a point; after
that tipping point, performance begins to suffer as the hormones continue to
flow. Because stress is a threat to productivity and employee well-being, it is
important we spend some time on this topic this week.
Review the chapter reading on stress. Complete the attached
stress self-assessment. Sharing your results with the class is optional.
Mid-Week we shift our focus to performance management in Chapter
17.
