Human relationships are our most powerful way to share and socialize ideas and to mobilize the instrumental, information, and emotional support that moves our goals forward. By building a culture of connection and support, organizational development (OD) teams can help companies build more organizational resilience – itching the fear and stress associated with change. A resilient culture smooths mergers and acquisitions, mitigates organizational trauma, helps support change initiatives, and better aligns employees with short- and long-term business goals and strategies.
