While leading a team through the uncertainty of change and company transformation can be challenging, several techniques can help ensure the transition is completed successfully and to everybody’s satisfaction, writes Caleb Yen for Job Journey, a blog of Express Employment Professionals.

Uncertain times can be confusing for employees and make them feel disconnected from leadership. While upper management has to make difficult decisions, staff members can feel like they are not being told what is going on, which lowers morale.

This is why it is important to keep communication lines open. Meetings, newsletters, and updates can be utilized to keep employees informed. It is also important to provide employees with a way to voice their questions or concerns.

Focusing on the constants that create the foundation of the company during a time of change is also important. Company culture is chief among these. Embracing the shared values and beliefs your staff and leadership hold will help improve morale during uncertain times.

Creating a transition team from within the company that will develop the timeframe, goals, and needs of the company’s change is also a key step in the process.
