Navigating the Workplace When Your Position is Changed

Navigating unexpected changes in your role at work can bring a number of challenges. It also has the chance to bring rewards. Changes within an organization can give employees an opportunity for growth and learning in new roles. Sometimes, a shift in your role can be a compliment, showcasing that your employer trusts you to take on new challenges.

When facing a significant change in your role or responsibilities, it's crucial to ask yourself important questions about the impact on your energy, skills, and passion. Having a keen sense of elf-awareness can guide your decision-making process.

Communicate with your employer about your strengths, interests, and concerns. Open communication can lead to opportunities for personal and professional growth within your organization. Don't hesitate to voice your skills, passions, and interests to your employer. It helps them understand where you can best contribute and may open up new opportunities aligned with your strengths.

Embrace new challenges and learning experiences. Drawing inspiration from the culture at Disney, approach change with a growth mindset and a willingness to try new things. Recognize that new roles or tasks may initially be daunting, but staying open-minded and being willing to learn can lead to unexpected growth and discovery.
