  24. A successful change management approach for HR transformation must begin with a thorough assessment of the present condition and must be aligned with the organization's strategic goals. It should prioritise good communication, stakeholder engagement, and developing a shared vision for the future. A solid change management strategy should also include support mechanisms such as training, coaching, and feedback loops to help employees adapt to new HR systems and practises.
