I have been the manager of an office branch for a large light fixture supply company for many years. However, due to a recent economic struggle, one of our sister branches was forced to close down. During this catastrophe, our branch absorbed this sister branch in the hopes of our corporate office to both save money and save employees. The transition to doubling my staff was difficult because many of my new employees did not know how things worked around my office. This stressed them out and generally made their productivity rate fall. Soon after the absorption of the office, I decided that we needed to formally introduce the new employees to some of the things that my office managed in the company. I began to administer some change management training to help them adjust to the new setting as well as some p3o training and business analysis training to help them better execute the jobs that my branch normally took care of. With business analysis training, change management training and p3o training, my new team was able to better understand the types of jobs that they were responsible for and how to go about doing those jobs on a day to day basis. After several weeks of going through the p3o training, business analysis training and the change management training, my new team is working fantastically with my old team. Our productivity rates are at an all-time high and we are in absolutely no danger of being downsized, merged or laid off whatsoever.
