Good personnel practices suggest that changes be explained in advance. This makes a change more acceptable. Sometimes it is advisable to go a step further and sell your staff on the change. Sales meetings are good for both you and your staff. You can explain proposed policy so those affected will know they’ve been considered. And you can sell the change, causing all concerned to accept it.
