Change is something that businesses must deal with frequently. As a result, organizations must modify and revise their business outlook, work roles, and even their overall goals in response to internal and external market drivers and disruptors. Some of these factors include resource constraints and cost pressure, technological advancement, evolving customer needs, environmental sustainability, and global health issues. To remain relevant and competitive, organizations employing change management practices can participate successfully in industry transformations.

A company’s ability to stay in business and serve its clients depends on how fully its employees accept and participate in change. A defined procedure and a collection of tools are used in change management to guide required human resource change toward the desired result.
