Change Management
Do you think change is on the horizon? Do you want to design a change management plan that will be effective, that will support the people and culture of your organisation and that will support positive working practices? Development at Work Australia works with you, using the best positive psychology techniques, to plan and manage effective change with a human face. We can help your top team to plan the changes you need to make and support your people through difficult transitions. Call us for change consultancy services that support positive psychology principles and the best outcomes for your organisation and people.
You can book us to run workshops such as “Planning and Managing the People Aspects of Change” or “Building Resilience in a Time of Change and Uncertainty” in your organisation. Let us help you to avoid survivor syndrome – where talented people that you wanted to retain resign from your organisation as a reaction to change.
Contact us on 0477 016 966 or to let us know you would like us to meet with you to discuss your needs. We will tailor workshops and events especially for you.
“Planning and Managing the People Aspects of Change” is for you if you are planning a change (growth, restructure, downsizing, redundancies etc) or if you are a manager who needs to be able to manage your team effectively during times of change and uncertainty. “Building Resilience in a Time of Change and Uncertainty” is for everyone involved in a change process – especially those who are affected by change but have little control over it.
We can also help you to manage the impact of change on people leaving your organisation – in particular via outplacement consulting and job search skills coaching. For a free tip sheet on Managing Outplacement and Redundancy with a Human Face please click here.

Our client experience – what our clients say
We were asked to design a change management program for small businesses for the Department of Trade and Economic Development’s Better Business Series. Here is what the General Manager of the Small Business Services office said about our work:
“Bridget’s change program was adapted for us to address the needs of small business. We liked the content, the new ideas and the interactive presentation style – and this program is now part of our Better Business Series. Highly recommended.” Tony De Vries, (formerly General Manager Small Business Services).
Here are a couple of other examples of our customer feedback:
“Bridget managed a large critical project for us with British Telecom, a major client. Her expertise meant she identified the critical issues very quickly and assisted senior managers to identify key issues to take into account in managing their change program.” Dr. K. Coaley, Managing Director, Training and Psychological Services Ltd, Herts, UK
“The best thing about this workshop was the psychological contract – I have sat through change sessions before but this was really different and I had not considered it before.” Lillian Fowles, Acting HR Manager, TAFE SA
