The results of the survey given above are discussed with the union representative so that he can assist in revising the change management communications strategy.

It is clearly shown from the results of the survey that the staff and employees are not happy with the training and learning gave to them. They do not feel that the roles and responsibilities are made clear to them. Only 25% of the employees trust the change management process of the company. Most of the employees do not feel motivated as they feel that their performance is not measured properly and their efforts are not recognised in the company. The survey results show that the communication is not effective which leads to the ineffective team performance.

Information session to discuss creative techniques, activities and tactics which will be used to gain trust and acceptance from the employees

As per Rideout & Rewers (2010), it is significant to maintain trust on the employees when the organisations seek for the change in the business environment.  It helps business in identifying the opportunities which improve the performance of the organisation. T reduces the costs and boosts the productivity of the business which helps in gaining competitive advantage. There are some techniques, activities and steps which should be taken by Fast Track Courier Services Pvt Ltd. to gain trust and acceptance from the employees so that they can implement the changes without any resistance from the employees. These are the steps for the same:

 Hold a meeting:To create a positive environment and support from the employees, the company should, first of all, build a relationship of mutual trust with the employees. It can be done by conducting meetings on regular basis and involving the employees in the decision-making of the company.

Get mutual agreement:The second step is to get mutually agreed on the terms. Various alternatives are explored and discussed to find out the best one among the various alternatives. Various techniques to develop mutual trust and to bring change can be clear and straight communication, transparency in the organisation, accountability to the workers, the culture of respect to others, to give priority to the commitments, etc. These can be used to empower the employees and build trust on the organisation. It ultimately helps the organisation to bring change (Tamilarasu, 2012).

Select one alternative:among many, select one alternative which suits best in completing the goals of the company.

Implement the strategies:the alternative selected should be implemented for bringing the change.

Take feedback:to understand whether the strategies are working properly, feedback is taken from the employees. It helps in making improvements (Graham- Leviss, 2011).

Conclusion

It can be concluded that to implement change in the organisation, Fast Track Courier Services has implemented strategies which failed due to an unsuccessful implementation. IT is then reviewed again with the help of employee feedback through survey and then certain steps are taken which could improve the same. It will help the company in achieving its goals and objectives i.e. acceptance of employees for change process in the company.
