Here\u2019s how to get your team on board \u2013 and excited!"},"content":{"rendered":"

So you\u2019ve decided to install Torus in your organisation. Congratulations \u2013 your workplace is about to be transformed.<\/h3>

But before you and your team can fully reap the benefits, you\u2019ll need to navigate the transition from your old key processes to Torus.<\/h3>

Here\u2019s what you need to know to get it right.<\/h3>

Expect Some Growing Pains at First<\/h2>

It\u2019s no secret that most people are resistant to change, even if that change is ultimately for the better.<\/p>

This might be especially true for senior or long-term staff, whose ways of operating will be deeply ingrained in their everyday work.<\/p>

So when you\u2019re changing any long-standing business processes, such as key management<\/a>, there\u2019s going to be a period of adjustment involved.<\/p>

And if it\u2019s not handled well, this transitional time can lead to confusion, frustration, and, potentially, non-compliance. That\u2019s why communication must be clear, consistent, and empathetic.<\/p>

Put your People\u2019s Minds at Ease<\/h2>

Every organisation manages keys differently, but for most workplaces we come across, it\u2019s common practice for many staff members to carry keys on their person at all times.<\/p>

When this is the case, it\u2019s easy for these staff to become attached to their keys. And we don\u2019t just mean physically.<\/p>

It may sound odd, but it makes perfect sense. Because their keys are always with them, they feel empowered to enter anywhere they need to at any time. Naturally, keys can come to symbolise importance.<\/p>

So, before your workplace introduces Torus, be sure your team understands that no one is taking their keys away.<\/p>

Above all, you\u2019ll want to stress that their keys are not<\/em> being confiscated.<\/p>

Leave No Room for Surprises<\/h2>

Communicate clearly and early that Torus is being installed in your workplace.<\/p>

By giving everyone plenty of notice about the transition, you will save your team \u2013\u00a0and yourself \u2013 headaches down the road.<\/p>

Don\u2019t lead with processes and instructions at this time.<\/p>

People might have plenty of questions, so before you get to the logistics, be sure to explain why<\/em> you\u2019re transitioning to Torus.<\/p>

Getting clear on your \u2018why\u2019<\/h2>

If you\u2019ve been one of the decision-makers involved in introducing Torus into your workplace, you already know the many benefits it will bring.<\/p>

But not everyone will see that right away. Especially if you don\u2019t communicate it effectively.<\/p>

Electronic key management<\/a> is new to most people. And that means that Torus will be new to them, too. So, please explain how switching to Torus will benefit your workplace, including:<\/p>
