To minimize the resistance to change it is very important to communicate with everybody about everything with relation to the upcoming change in order to reduce uncertainty, increase engagement and involvement in the planning of change.

Minimizing change resistance needs for corrective management action. Corrective action can include providing necessary trainings and adequate information about change and being generally sensitive to employee fears about change. Other positive steps include convincing employees that a real and justified reason exists for the change and committing sufficient resources to the change to ease the transition process and alleviate employee frustration. Managers should also tie the change to improved patron service and should constantly work to create a climate where employees are encouraged to explore new ideas and try them out.

Hello,

the most important factor is involve them in adopting the required change and let them feel they are part of it.

Make the change gradual and incentivize its components in a way that major resistors are attracted.

Awareness about the change before its implementation will help its acceptance easily.

The world may broke apart,the man may release flood of tears but nothing could stop the natural and permanent phenomenon of change.better to educate those solidly and ignorantly opposing the changes which are inevitable....to incentivizing it is like making it a flawed phenomena....no need to bribe the bullheads to get their favour for inevitable things e.g change....

Although there will always be some resistance to change, there are usually things that we can minimise its effects. Some of these things are, first by surveying the work environment for satisfaction with the current system, secondly, by simply educating the workforce starting from the top on the need & benefits of a change, and thirdly by introducing the change gradually to avoid rocking the boat.

As Mr. Iftkhar said make it gradually, but it can not be prevented, the organization theory said change = resistance = conflict, only you can make it positive resistance!
