The management needs to be sensitive towards the staff, the staff would be concerned about
career growth and better channels of communication and for the customers they would want the
brand to publish high-quality content on the digital platform.

newsletters, briefings from project team members, frequently asked questions
Currently, there has been a high-level strategy in place and therefore, the stakeholders are
aware about the present situation of change management and committed to their respective
tasks. A compatible workplace culture and reward programs would facilitate the change
management in an efficient manner. There is a strong senior support for change. The Team is

20% that occurred in previous quarter. To make this implementation successful among all the
departments, the Senior Management team will work together to make this process simple and
easy.
