3 Ways to Communicate an Employee Time Tracking Change Successfully
3 Emails to Announce a New Employee Time Tracking Solution

Last week, we talked about what you need to do to successfully overcome any resistance to change when implementing an employee time tracking solution. If you missed it, here’s a link to the Top Reasons People Resist Change Blog.
Fear of the unknown is the number one reason people fear change. Here are four ways to overcome their fears:
- Give affected employees ample notice of the change
- Clearly explain what the change is
- Describe how the change will affect them
- Tell them why you are making the change and its benefits
Communication is key to overcoming your employee’s resistence to change. These three email templates can help when you’re communicating the change to your hourly employees, supervisors, and payroll employees.
