When do employees find out about a change?
Employees usually find out what is happening after the fact. Organizations do not always share financial information or talk about poor performance issues with employees. Therefore, when change is needed quickly, employees may be taken by surprise. On the one hand, organizations are trying to implement change as quickly as possible.
When does a change need to be implemented?
The change will be implemented as soon as it is possible. The change assessment and approval to proceed AND /OR authorisation to implement or release, may happen verbally. Associated change documentation (i.e. the change form) can be completed retrospectively BUT must occur within one working day of the RFC implementation.
