Staff Development
Of course adoption of a change is not entirely optional even in our environment and the rate of adoption and time taken to reach the 'tipping point' can be influenced by an effective staff development programme. This can be particularly important where the change involves the use of new technology.
'It appears vital that staff are treated in a manner such that their personal dignity is not affronted when they seek help; for some staff, the change in role from expert/information disseminator to learner is one that affords many opportunities for loss of face and revelations about their level of skills that they may feel compromises their standing...These situations must always be handled with delicacy and sensitivity.'
