Will you be allowed to change the Apple ID on the work phone? Post back if no. If yes,
See the instructions below for changing an Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202667 Read these two sections very carefully to see what is allowed: If your Apple ID is a third-party email address and How to change your Apple ID if it ends with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com.
Before changing your Apple ID using a computer, sign out of all Apple services that use your Apple ID. If you are going to use an iPhone, iPad, or iPod, then stay signed in with your Apple ID on only that device. This instruction is taken from the above document under the heading Before you change your Apple ID.

Yes I cam change my apple ID on my old work phone. So if I am reading this right, I should change my apple ID on my work phone, create a backup with new ID, then transfer all info from work phone to new personal phone using my new apple ID. Is this correct? Thanks.
Make the backup before changing the Apple ID on your computer. After making the change, restore the backup to the new iPhone. Here is another read for you How to Restore Backup to a New iPhone https://smallbusiness.chron.com/restore-backup-new-iphone-53329.html. And, you are very welcome. Be safe.
