What is Lewin's Change Model?
A foundational change management framework developed by social psychologist Kurt Lewin in 1947 that describes organizational change as a three-phase process: Unfreeze existing behaviors, Change to new behaviors, and Refreeze the new behaviors as the standard.
Why it matters in hiring
Lewin's Change Model comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
