Major changes make major ripples. Parts of your company far removed from the target will still feel the impact. Look at all of the ramifications of your changes, minimize any unnecessary ones, then tell employees about everything that will be different so there are no surprises. Incidentally, don't assume your employees will resist the change. I recently surveyed the employees of a state agency and found that only 5 percent felt the organization was undertaking too much change.
Most employees embrace change if they have a voice in planning it.
So get your employees involved and you'll be in the fast lane in no time at all. I'd show them the value of my experience. Finally, I realized that my resume was the problem. So, I began carefully reviewing the position announcement for the position for which I was applying. If the stated requirements for the position were a subset of my skills and experience, then I would tailor a resume and cover letter with experience content identical to the requirements and not a single phrase more.
