People-centric Organizational Change: Engaging Employees with Business Transformation
The only way to achieve successful business change is by engaging employees and making the transformation people-centric. This book explains how to achieve this.
Written by a leading voice in the change management industry who has both academic and practitioner experience, People-Centric Organizational Change is a practical guide for change professionals and postgraduate students. It covers everything from what people-centric change is and why it's essential to engage people with the change through to the importance of the communication of change and how to do this effectively with a distributed workforce in a hybrid working environment. Using evidence-based research, this book fully explores the human dynamic of change, explains how to promote collaboration between colleagues and shows how to involve line managers in the change process. There is also advice on how to encourage staff to see change as an opportunity rather than a threat.
People-Centric Organizational Change also includes discussion of the impact of change on employee wellbeing as well as the relationship between Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) and change. There is also advice on how to build people-centric initiatives into an overall change strategy. It is full of country agnostic tools and tips that can be used across cultures as well as frameworks and skills that can be applied in public, private and third sector settings. Global case studies and examples throughout help to put the content into context and show how a people-first approach to change works in practice. Online resources include PowerPoint slides for each chapter.

The structure of the text was good. The formatting was easy to follow for review when I need to refer back to the book. The concepts were challenging in a good way that I believe would push further development. As someone who is use to American authors, I had to get used to some of the different spelling of words like center being spelled centre. Overall, I really liked the book.
