Exploring why employees resist change and how leaders can transform resistance into engagement is the topic of the newest short course by the University of Chichester.
Ideal for leaders, change communications specialists and HR professionals, the course will help participants gain greater understanding of individual psychological factors underling resistance to change.

The course, led by Dr Ian Tyndall and Dr Jacques Ding, will be held online on Friday 28 November 2025 from 12pm to 2pm.
