Changing People, Attitudes, and Behaviors

A third area of organization change has to do with human resources. For example, an

organization might decide to change the skill level of its workforce. This change might

be prompted by changes in technology or by a general desire to upgrade the quality of

the workforce. Thus, training programs and new selection criteria might be needed. The

organization might also decide to improve its workers’ performance level. In this

instance, a new incentive system or performance-based training might be in order.



Readers Digest recently eliminated 17 percent of its employees, reduced retirement

benefits, and took away many of the “perks” (perquisites, or job benefits) that employees

once enjoyed. Part of the reason for the changes was to instill in the remaining employ-

ees a sense of urgency and the need to adopt a new perspective on how they do their

jobs. Similarly, Saks Fifth Avenue changed its entire top management team as a way to

breathe new life into the luxury retailer.

Perceptions and expectations are also a common focus of organization change.

Workers in an organization might believe that their wages and benefits are not as

high as they should be. Management, however, might have evidence that shows the

firm is paying a competitive wage and providing a superior benefit package. The

change, then, would be centered on informing and educating the workforce about

the comparative value of its compensation package. A common way to do this is

to publish a statement that places an actual dollar value on each benefit provided

and compares that amount to what other local organizations are providing their

workers.

Change might also be directed at employee attitudes and values. In many organiza-

tions today, managers are trying to eliminate adversarial relationships with workers and

to adopt a more collaborative relationship. In many ways, changing attitudes and values

is perhaps the hardest thing to do.
