Preparing staff for change through training

Organisations that don’t adapt to changing circumstances normally become stagnant. The world today is changing tremendously driven primarily by technology. Individuals need to adopt these technologies but they cannot do so without a change in attitudes and behaviours. We would like to take MUBS to another level to make it perform better. To be able to do so, there is need to create awareness among MUBS staff that they must change. They must adopt new technologies but this can only take place if they are willing to do so. 

Another key factor in improving organisational performance is the ability to ensure organisational harmony while at the same time have some degree of interpersonal competition. You must have knowledge to balance these. To be able to do this and prepare staff to change, create change and manage change, a series of training programmes are being held. At the Support Staff level, the supervisors were initiated into a training on how to become effective leaders. The programme was run for the new employees of MUBS who just joined the institution, preparing them for leadership positions. 

The top management of MUBS has also been encouraged to lead change in their various units. But change creates challenges. It creates conflict in organisations. This needs to be managed. Several leadership development programmes have been taking place in MUBS with a view to initiating, supporting and managing change.
