How We Deal with Change<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIt is no secret that change is unavoidable and a part of our daily life. When we consider it theoretically, and need to answer the question if we consider it a good thing, we mostly agree that change is necessary \u2013 things need to change, certain ways of thinking or doing are \u201cdone with\u201d. However, this is only one side of the story. If we formulate the question in this way: \u201cWho wants to change?\u201d, the answer differs greatly. When we realize that change cannot happen if we<\/em> don\u2019t change \u2013 we are not so eager and ready for change.\r\n\r\nOne of the key aspects of change is diversity and inclusivity in the workplace<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. The goal is to create an environment in which all, no matter their personality traits, feel accepted and have equal opportunities. However, accepting our differences is not always easy, especially when we have to face our unconscious biases and prejudice.\r\n\r\nHiring foreign employees is our \u201cnew normal\u201d. Like everything, this too has two sides. On the one hand, newcomers have mostly found their footing, they are hardworking and are trying to assimilate. On the other hand, misunderstandings, different ways of thinking and the language barrier between us lead to tension and unstable relationships. This situation has also opened some old wounds. The arrival of the foreign workforce only shone a light on some of them. Issues like lack of quality teamwork, not accepting our differences, differences in opinion and points of view and many others were present before their arrival. These issues are reflected in the intergenerational gap where one must find a common ground to work and communicate with Gen Z<\/span><\/strong>.<\/a> In the context of change, emotional intelligence<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, empathy, and communication skills<\/a><\/span><\/strong> are our key tools and \u201chelpers\u201d \u2013 worth of investing our time and effort.\r\n\r\n \r\n
