Document background
The Change Impact Assessment is a critical document used in New Zealand business environments when organizations are planning or implementing significant changes. This document type emerged from the need to systematically evaluate the implications of organizational changes while ensuring compliance with New Zealand's robust employment and safety legislation. It helps organizations fulfill their obligations under various laws, including the Employment Relations Act 2000 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. The assessment typically covers impacts on personnel, operations, technology, and business processes, while also addressing risk management and compliance requirements. It's particularly valuable for demonstrating due diligence in change management and maintaining good faith in employment relationships, as required by New Zealand law.
