National Workplace Initiative

Managing change and disruption series

All workplaces are affected by change and disruption. From natural disasters, such as fires and floods, to major adverse events, such as cybercrime, many Australian workplaces have been transformed by major disruptions in recent years.  Poorly managed change can erode internal motivation and even reduce people’s commitment.  

This guide helps organisations better understand the impact of disruption and how to plan and undertake change management to support people in the workplace.  

It provides evidence-based practical guidance at each key stage, at both organisational and team level: 

  • Before disruption – how you can prepare to recover 
  • During disruption – responding to impacts  
  • After disruption – how you can support recovery 

The guide was developed through the National Workplace Initiative.
