Stakeholders Impacted by the Change and the Change Management Team

Employees who will enroll in the mentorship program will have better opportunities in the organization. They will get more motivation to work because of increased engagement with their mentors. Mentors, on the other hand, will benefit from more opportunities in their career, as well as more skills gained from training. The change management team will be headed by the mentorship director who will oversee the entire change implementation. Under the director will be the mentors who will help in helping employees get involved in activities to help them grow professional. Mentor-protégé relationships help improve outcomes in nursing care (Eller, Lev & Feurer, 2014). Mentors will be based in different units within the organization.

Plan for communicating the Change and Mitigating Risk

All employees will receive emails regarding the date of proposing mentors. The official company email will be used. Unit managers will inform employees to act upon the emails in their regular meetings. One of the risks expected in implementing the proposed change is the lack of participation in the choosing mentors. This is because employees may not be comfortable being mentored by individuals within their units. There are already issues in how employees interact in the organization. To mitigate this risk, employees will be free to choose mentors from other units. They will also be free to report to the mentorship director in case of any issues.
