WHY DO OD?

Human resources — all employees — are usually a large proportion of organization operating costs. How employees are lead and managed and the environment in which they operate can make the difference between organizational success and failure. It is critical the organization understands how to manage them.
Changing nature of the workplace. Workers today want feedback on their performance, a sense of accomplishment, feelings of value and worth, and commitment to social responsibility. They must also be more efficient, to improve their time management. And, of course, if we continue doing more work with reduced employee numbers, we need to make our processes more efficient.
Global markets. Our environments are changing, and our organizations must also change to survive these challenges. Organizations need to be more responsible and develop closer partnerships with our customers. In order to survive, it is critical to attack the problems, not the symptoms, in a systematic, planned, socially responsible manner.
Accelerated rate of change. Competition exists on an international scale for people, capital, physical resources, and information.
In simple words organizations need to conduct OD for a proper understanding and implementation of Change Management where every new strategies and technologies are accepted without and resistance.
