Stages of concern

Stages of Concern is a framework that describes how individuals respond to changes, particularly in learning or adopting new practices. It includes several levels of concern, ranging from awareness of the change and its impact to personal feelings about the change, and ultimately to a focus on how the change affects others. Understanding these stages helps organizations support individuals as they navigate change, addressing their specific concerns at each stage, thereby facilitating smoother transitions and enhancing overall engagement and effectiveness.
