Change in the workplace may be inevitable, but it is rarely neat. A new policy, a restructuring, or even a shift in leadership may look like progress on paper, but for employees, it often feels as though something important has been taken away.
What is harder to see are the hidden losses of identity, connection, or trust that make organizational change feel heavier than the headlines suggest.
American adults who have been affected by change at work are more likely to report chronic work stress, less likely to trust their employer and more likely to say they plan to leave the organization within the next year compared with those who haven’t been affected by organizational change.
