That means placing health and wellbeing at the heart of an organisation.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Change doesn\u2019t just happen at work. It also happens to you in your personal life, in your family, in your community, in your leisure activities, and of course at work.<\/p>\n<p>Anybody can be a change agent. You may already have been one. If, for example, you have ever acted as a subject matter expert for a project, you will have had some influence on the outcome and progress of change. A true change agent, however, is not just a supporter of change, but someone who can spark the change.<\/p>\n<p>How do you do this without authority of being a senior leader or a change manager? Smart organisations are now recognizing that change initiatives are stronger and go on for longer if they are supported from the ground up.<\/p>\n<p>These will typically have ways for anyone in the organisation to submit suggestions for change, and then invite them to be involved in working on it.<\/p>\n<p>There are some transformations that don\u2019t require an external spark, they self-ignite.
