99: Ep 099 - Culture Atrophy: When Change Outpaces Your People

When Change Becomes Overwhelming You have been working at a company for seven years. It’s 10 a.m. You sit down at your desk when you receive an email notification. You open it and see that the company’s dress code has been changed from smart casual to formals. This is the fifth time the dress code has changed in the past two years. This is not just about policy changes, but about how constant change begins to erode the culture of an organisation. According to McKinsey, the average employee now experiences around ten planned change programs a year, a fivefold increase compared to ten years ago. This pattern is seen across organizations, from frontline workers to senior managers, affecting their energy levels and contributing to burnout and exhaustion.
