Career success means coping with change
Article Abstract:
Opposition to change troubles employers more than any other problem in dealing with employees, according to a survey of property-casualty insurance companies CEOs. Insurance companies are downsizing and restructuring to remain competitive, and changes are inevitable. Terminated workers can find new employment only if they accept change as a challenge rather than a threat. Management also needs to change including allowing employees to use initiative and accept responsibility.
