Looks like LL is going through some 'forceful' changes, eh? I bet the existing staff are feeling a bit 'insurance' about the whole situation.

Stakeholder analysis is always important, even if it's an internal change. LL shouldn't assume that there won't be any external stakeholders affected by this shift in the workforce.

Identifying the potential adversaries within the group is crucial. If they're influential, they could sabotage the change efforts, so LL needs to be proactive in addressing their concerns.

A facilitator would be a great idea to help the group work through their concerns and issues. Allowing them to voice their opinions in a structured manner could go a long way in managing the change process.

The proposed change will definitely affect the group dynamics, as the introduction of temporary workers on a lower pay rate could create tension and resentment among the existing staff. Sensitivity training for the new hires could help, but I'm not sure if that's enough to address the underlying issues.
