This comes from the company, the people making this change.” That means helping employees “buy into it,” Mertz said, and giving them choices about what their workstation will look like. “Giving them choices makes it a lot easier for them to say, ‘OK, they’re thinking about my comfort. They’re thinking about my well-being and how I’m going to be in the space,’” Mertz said. “Sometimes management has more of an issue changing than the actual employee does,” she added. businessrecord.com | Twitter: @businessrecord @businessrecord | Twitter: businessrecord.com During Holmes Murphy’s location search, Keough said it was input from current employees that shifted focus from moving downtown, to moving out to Waukee. “When we led the conversation back to our employees about the process, listening to them and their input, this just turned out to be a natural destination that met their needs, and they felt most comfortable with this,” Keough said. When attempting to reduce stress on employees during a redesign period, leaders will misguidedly leave employees out of the conversation so they aren’t overwhelmed with change. That can backfire, Mertz said. Mertz encourages business to survey current employees about what they like and need out of their workstations. “Transparency is probably the biggest thing,” Mertz said. “It’s giving them choices, having the transparency of letting them know what’s going on all the time. That is huge.” “I’m proud of the team that we put on the field to bring it to life. I feel like we had a world class team, and what we have now — where our employees come to work every day in a world class building — that’s reward- ing after a pretty long process of planning and execution and building,” Keough said. n
