Greetings HR professionals, culture advocates, and curious readers. Whether you work in HR, have a keen interest in it, or have clicked on this blog while looking for something else, you are welcome! Today, we're exploring a topic as essential to the workplace as coffee is to a Monday morning: building resilience in times of change.

Let's face it. Change is like a relative who shows up unannounced at Thanksgiving dinner with a surprise dish. Sometimes, it's delightful, and other times, it's like, "What is this, and why is it on my plate?" As HR professionals, we're the ones who have to help the rest of the family not only deal with the surprise but maybe even enjoy it.

Change, Change, Go Away? Not So Fast! Change is inevitable. Whether it's a reorganization, new technology, a merger, or a shift in company culture, it's coming. And when it does, how your organization handles it can make all the difference. As HR, we're the steady hand on the wheel, guiding the ship through rough seas (and maybe singing a sea shanty or two for morale).
