How do we overcome workplace resistance. When the workplace becomes resistant to change due to fear, lack of trust, poor communication, or a strong attachment to past habits, people often feel threatened by the unknown or worry that changes may lead to unemployment, increased workload, or shifts in power dynamics. Furthermore, if leadership fails to explain the purpose or benefits of the change, employees may become disengaged or resistant. This kind of resistance can be overcome by establishing a strong culture of transparency and inclusion. Leaders should clearly communicate the reasons for the change, its impact on individuals, and involve employees in the planning process. Providing training, support, and a space for feedback also helps to reduce anxiety and build trust. When a workplace resists change, it often leads to slow or ineffective decision making. People may hesitate, become skeptical of leadership, or rigidly cling to outdated methods. However, when resistance is addressed and people feel valued and empowered, the organization becomes more agile, and decision making is generally more collaborative and proactive
