The change is something that is least accepted by all no matter it is in the organization or outside. But the most important thing is the change as nothing is static and we need to make it dynamic for some or other reasons. Change management is something that every organization has to work on it. But it takes a lot as the employees or the other staff takes a lot of time in accepting this. They ask for motivation, further support, and help in order to digest the change management. 

That is why the companies have to hire change agents. They are the ones who facilitate the whole change management process of the organization. There comes many barriers to change and that needs someone who can help us overcome that and that person can be the change agent. They will facilitate in the whole procedure of implementing the change in an organization. When an organization hires anyone for any purpose they define the set of roles or the responsibilities that must be performed by that person. The same is in the purpose of the change agent as well. Here is what they need to do in your organization:

• Listing the benefits of the change: In order to make the change acceptable, they have to communicate the benefits of the change to each and every person concerned. Only with the help of communication, this can be done. They will follow the communication channels to inform the advantages of the change that is being implemented. 
• Eliminating the resistant attitude of employees: As we all know the change is least acceptable by the employees and most of them are having this attitude problem. We need to avoid resistance to change so that they can happily accept the change. In order to fulfill this, they have to work on each employee to eliminate their resistance to change. 
• Arrange exercises for change management: In order to make change management an easier concept, they can go exercise the activities of it. This means they can arrange the activities in which he or she can perform in a changing way. This will help them to learn change management in by practicing it. Under this, it is important to make each and every concerned team member part of this exercise as only then it can help. 
• Promoting them to be a change champion: The change agent must promote the concept of a change champion by helping the employees to be the one. This can be done by encouraging them to the fullest about the change and then helping them to accept it. They can be motivated by offering them to be change champions and not the ones who resist change. 
• Support them in every step: The role of the change agent is to support the concerned employees at each and every step of the change management. This means wherever they need acceptance for the change agent must be there. Supporting them will help in attaining the set objectives. 
• Making the change a success: The change agents must work on the change management and help in making it a success. It is only possible if they have started identifying the other change agents who have accepted the change. It will be beneficial in the whole process if some of the other employees have also started to be the change agent. 
• Be the feedback giver on challenges: We all know that whenever a change is implemented there are a lot many challenges that come upfront. There is a need for feedback by an expert in this area. So, the change agents must offer their feedback on this to make it easier for everyone involved to face the challenges.

So, the above-discussed are the responsibilities of the change agents for which they are hired in any organization. There are various kinds of change agents that an organization can go for. It can be operational, internal change agents, external, people-oriented, and so on. They act as a consultant, communicator, trainer, mentor, encourager, and supporters to the employees who are in the chain of the change management process. This is how they can help us.
