7 NTCOSS at Work .. Managing Change in the Community Sector An industrial relations perspective by Michael Pegg, Community Sector Industrial Relations - Jobs Australia. Managing change involves balancing strategic objectives with industrial constraints and people management considerations. They all affect how successfully the change will help to achieve the organisations mission. So, lets imagine your Board has done the analysis and strategic planning. They found compelling reasons to introduce significant changemaybe growth, maybe managing funding cuts, maybe just restructuring. Before you can finalise what the change will look like and start implementing, this is where the industrial constraints kick in. Some of the big issues include: Consultation in accordance with the award or agreement. This means providing a genuine opportunity for staff to influence the final outcome. It does not require agreement, but it is more than just information sessions. Good practice is to consult around proposals or options - then finalise the plan in light of the consultations. Potential redundancies - have we explored redeployment options? Termination of employment is only one potential outcome of redundancy, and is a last resort. Of course, with funding cuts it might quickly become clear there is no other option, but it still needs to be explored. Employee entitlements such as severance, notice and leave entitlements need to be checked before commencing a restructure. This means checking employment contracts, the award or agreement, the NES and any relevant HR policies. Change isnt easy and you should get advice. Paying attention to the industrial issues will not only minimise disputes - it is also good management.
