The Effects of Change Fatigue on

Organizational Culture

Do you fell burnout, frustration, apathy, low morale, and mistrust in your company’s leadership? Do you feel resigned to the future success of your company? If so, you are experiencing change fatigue. Change fatigue can have a great impact that can undermine the spirit, faith, and well-being of people within an organization. In addition to personal stress, organizational change fatigue can result in decreased job satisfaction and increased turnover.

 

What exactly is Change Fatigue? It is an organizational culture that has low energy for change due to a history of failed or problematic changes. It is a type of morale that may lead to resistance to change. When a company has experienced multiple failures and the perception of weak leadership it can become engrained in the culture.

Most remote-capable employees continued to work from home at least part of the time, but the mix became a nearly even split -- 42% had a hybrid schedule, and 39% worked entirely from home.

 

Adapting to our new way of working is not straightforward, as several years after the pandemic we are still trying to figure out the best model when it comes to building strong organizational cultures. Culture is dynamic and ever changing. According to Gartner, 24% of HR leaders say their leadership development approach does not prepare leaders for the future of work.
