In this episode of HR, We Have a Problem, host Teri Zipper and leadership expert Ashley Goodall discuss the complexities of change management in organizations and its impact on employees. Ashley shares insights from his latest book, The Problem with Change, arguing that constant change, though often praised, may be detrimental to both employees and business outcomes.


Their conversation sheds light on the widening gap between employee performance and organizational transformation, highlighting the critical role of HR in championing employee needs while strategically aligning with broader business goals.



Key points covered include:


↪️ Achieving long-term sustainability requires organizations to prioritize employee well-being alongside financial success, as neglecting this balance can lead to significant challenges.


↪️ Creating a workplace environment that fosters predictability and control is crucial for enhancing employee security and sustaining productivity.


↪️ HR professionals should champion evidence-based strategies to boost performance, moving beyond a dependence on technology and external systems alone.


↪️ There remains a critical gap between performance science and its practical application in the business realm, particularly in compensation practices.
