The Ten Greatest "FEARS OF CHANGE"
FEAR# 1..... LOSS OF JOB
In 1992 and 1993 alone, large organizations like IBM, AT&T and GM laid off over 600,000 people
FEAR# 2...... LOSS OF PAY
One of the largest budget areas is salaries. Organizational change may result in one's pay being cut in the current job or having to take a job that pays less
FEAR# 3.......LOSS OF STATUS
In some cases a change will bring about a demotion--- or, the responsibilities change and you lose status and other privileges.
FEAR# 4......LOSS OF FRIENDS
When change occurs we sometimes lose the positive relationships we enjoyed with peers or others in the organization
FEAR# 5......LOSS OF BENEFITS
In some situations when change occurs the benefits we had are no longer as good. we have less time off, less health coverage, fewer personal leave days and so forth,...
FEAR# 6....... LOSS OF PHYSICAL COMFORT ZONES
We may have to change our office or work location. We may have to travel more to places we don't care to go to. We may have to change our schedule of hours or days worked.
FEAR# 7........ FEELINGS OF INOMPETENCE OR OBSOLESCENCE
We fear that our skills and knowledge will become outdated, that we cannot keep up, or that some form of technology will replace us.
FEAR# 8.......WORKING HARDER
We are afraid that when someone goes away, such as in layoffs,m those of us that remain will have to work harder to keep up.
FEAR# 9....... PERSONAL LOSS
We fear that the change will cause us to work more hours and have less time for family or leisure than we had before.
FEAR# 10....... COMMUNICATION LOSS OR OVERLOAD
We may no longer be part of the networks that keep us in the "KNOW". Or we may have too muh information comnig to us through electronic mail, voice mail, direct mail, reports, news and so on ......
