Change is Often Selfish; for the Organization

	          		The problem I find with change is that in most cases, it favors the organization more than the employees.

													If the change is well structured, subject to its definition, I think its more of an advantage to the employees.

				                Re: Change is Most of the Times Selfish

													I'm having a hard time understanding how employees can benefit more than the organisation from change taking into considerations the fact that organisations are always thinking of ways to improve on their products and/or services, ways which are not always people centred. Yes! Employees sometimes benefit but in most cases, the organisations does more.

				                Solution Management in Context

													Yeah, I quite agree with you to some extent Rose. It is also in this regard that organizations are very much particular about staff trainings, they are well aware that an organization without these people, without the right hands to man it with an excellent touch of professionalism and creativity, the company is as good as an empty house. We must not fail to understand that these individuals make up the organization in question, hence the change has to start from these people. Once there is a positive change in the people/employees... Then it will go a long way in affecting the organization as well as its product and image positively... This is what I call solution management in context because it deals more with the individual than with the organization as a whole.
