As we know, in this business, it’s important to understand that staff may experience fear, stress, anxiety or resistance when changes happen at work. They might worry about feel overwhelmed by new tasks or find it hard to trust if changes haven’t been explained clearly.

These feelings can lead to low morale or burnout. That’s why supporting mental health through open communication, reassurance and involving staff in the process is key to helping them feel valued and comfortable during times of change.
