| | October 2021MANAGEHRMAGAZINE.COM6The coronavirus pandemic has changed the workplace as we know it. While the physical space still exists, the overall idea of what a workplace is and what it is for is being reimagined. Organizations are addressing the changes brought by COVID and the rapid pace of technological investment to enable remote and flexible work. In particular, organizations are taking three key actions: embracing a hybrid model, revamping the physical workspace, and managing employee needs. There has been a drastic shift in how businesses approach change management--there is more focus on building change management capability at all levels of the organization, seeing it as a requirement rather than an option. Furthermore, change management is being integrated with project management as managers recognize the key role it plays in project success. Many businesses are choosing formal change management methodologies to get everyone on the same page but there has also been an uptick in the use of change management, even on informal changes. What's more? Businesses are adopting an agile growth mindset; digitalization, hitherto seen as an optional choice for many companies, is now the only path toward achieving operational continuity. Besides, technologies like AI are all set to transform change management by taking much of the guesswork out of planning. With the help of AI, change managers will be able to seamlessly handle time-intensive tasks and focus on delivering value. That is not all! The workplace of the future will be more diverse, fuelled by increasing globalization, shifting parental roles, an aging workforce, and changing attitudes towards sexual and gender identity. To that end, change managers will need to embrace this development and the opportunities it brings. Teams that lack diversity will stagnate without the advantage of a variety of perspectives.In this edition of Manage HR, we bring to you the story of some of the leading change management companies in the APAC region that leverage innovative technologies to deliver the best outcomes for their clients.
