What if your next workplace change didn’t cause chaos—just clarity? 🦀✨

On this episode of The Advisor with Lisa Urbanski, special guest Hermie the HR Hermit Crab (from the Harmonious Workplaces series) shares a fun, practical guide to adapting to change without the crabbiness. From tech rollouts to policy shifts, Hermie breaks down how to reduce resistance, boost engagement, and keep teams moving in the same direction. You’ll learn how to:
  • 🧭 Guide change with clarity: Set shared goals and a simple rollout plan
  • 🗣️ Communicate smarter: Blend open forums with structured feedback for psychological safety
  • 🧑‍🏫 Train for adoption: Map current workflows, offer just-in-time training, and support champions
  • 🤝 Leverage strengths: Put the right people in the right roles during transitions
  • 🧰 Use Hermie’s crew: Meet Gary the IT Gecko & Rocco the Custodian—character tips you’ll actually remember
  • 🌊 Stay human: Mindset, forgiveness, and patience to keep morale high while you modernize
Before your next change, write one page: goals, who’s affected, 3 key messages, training plan, and how you’ll collect feedback. Share it with the team first.
