MANAGING CHANGE THROUGH PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

Change is an inevitable part of human beings, the institution they established as well as their environment, climate, economy and politics. Interestingly however, most people are hardly ever ready for changes they know must occur.
The research work has revealed that in spite of the inevitability of change, still some members of the organizations are insensitive. It was discovered that employees’ willingness to adopt change as well as their participation in the change process among others are some of the parameter that enhance effective management of change. With this in turn fear and mistrust is eliminated and resistance reduced to the minimum. It is therefore recommended that for any organization to remain in business it must anticipate change and in order to manage the change effectively there must be strategies in place that will integrate the employees to the change process and reduce resistance to the barest minimum in order to achieve better and improved overall performance. It was conclusively deduced that managing change is a dynamic process, which required being constantly tuned in to what is happening around and monitoring the process very carefully. On the basis of this determines the effectiveness of an executive and his ability to create and manage change.
