In Part 1 of the toolkit, Preparing yourself for change, managers and supervisors explore the changes underway in the organization and how those changes impact them and their employees. The toolkit provides worksheets and assessments to help managers identify and work through their own resistance to change. Part 1 also includes a comprehensive review of change management concepts and tools that allows them to build their own knowledge and skills to lead change.

In Part 2 of the toolkit, Leading employees through change, managers and supervisors are provided with the tools and processes for managing change with employees. Managers learn how to apply the ADKAR model, one of the most sought after change management tools. Managing resistance from employees can be a challenging task for many managers. This toolkit provides the structure and tools to make managing resistance easier and faster. Part 2 also includes templates and worksheets for employees, along with a professional development plan geared specifically for helping employees transition through change.
