Hi, I am looking for someone to write an article on human resources: managing organisational change Paper must be at least 2500 words. Please, no plagiarized work!

It may be well first to understand the meaning of the term “change” and what is referred to as organisational change. Oxford American Dictionaries define change as the “act or instance of making difference.” The concept of organisational change refers to “organization-wide changes as opposed to smaller changes such as adding a new person, modifying a program etc. Examples of organization-wide change might include change in mission, restructuring operations (e.g. restructuring to self-managed teams.

layoffs, etc. ) new technologies, mergers, major collaborations, “rightsizing” new programs such as Total Quality Management, re-engineering, etc. “(http://www.managementhelp.orgchange.htm)

On the other hand, William Tracey in the Human Resources Glossary defines Human Resources as “ the people that staff and operate an organization. . . as contrasted with the financial and material resources of an organization. The organizational function that deals with the people. . . Further, “Human Resources” or HR refers to the workforce managed by any employer.

As the most important asset for any business leader, employees need to be effectively managed in order for optimal efficacy to be achieved. … properly managing a workforce is a lot more complicated than, say, the company’s material capital such as machinery, computer systems, etc.(http://www.hrvillage.com/human-resources/definition.htm)

It is observed that organizational change is a threat to the area of human resources. Craine 2007 asserts that most people like things to be comfortable, and familiar.

They like to be capable and confident. Change affects people’s ability to feel comfortable, capable and confident because it means that they must learn new systems, work in new ways and accept new responsibilities. Ultimately, resistance to change would affect organizations’performance.
