You wouldn’t launch a new HR tech platform without checking system requirements. So why do so many teams forget to check their people?
The Culture Check That Rarely Happens
According to the latest Index by Udder data:
-
39% of HR teams never assess their organisation’s readiness for digital change
-
Only 4% do so monthly
-
The majority either do it only once a year, or only before major tech projects
This lack of regular insight creates blind spots. The kind that lead to resistance, low adoption, and wasted investment.
Why It Matters
Digital transformation isn’t just technical. It’s cultural.
If your people aren’t prepared, aligned, or confident, no platform rollout or process redesign is going to succeed the way it should.
Yet for many, change readiness is still treated like a box to tick once, rather than an ongoing cultural metric.
What Should You Be Asking?
-
Do your employees know why a digital change is happening?
-
Are managers equipped to guide teams through transformation?
-
Are current ways of working actively enabling or blocking digital progress?
If you’re not asking these questions regularly, you're not managing change. You’re hoping for the best.
