Companies that prioritize culture and organizational health see an average of a 3x increase in shareholder returns. But for all the talk about company culture, it’s often the one area where companies fall short—especially when in times of change like mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Nurturing workplace culture during periods of transition is critical to company success. And the overwhelming majority of senior leaders would also agree. 95% of executives would say that culture fit is critical to the success of integration. With the right approach to culture integration, your company can maximize value, boost employee engagement, and increase resiliency through different seasons of organizational change. ➡️ https://hubs.ly/Q02RnPzY0 #cultureintegration #companyculture #businesstransitions #leadingchange #10KC

Stop for a second and read below 👇.
When two companies merge, the challenge of uniting distinct corporate cultures can seem daunting. But with the right approach, it's possible to transform cultural differences into a source of strength. That's exactly what happened when our client, a mid-sized tech firm, acquired a smaller competitor. Despite the strategic fit, the two companies had significantly different work styles and values, leading to tensions and productivity losses in the early days post-merger. Recognizing the need for cultural alignment, the leadership team engaged SNRG to develop a plan for integration. Through a combination of employee workshops, communication initiatives, and team-building activities, we helped the company forge a shared identity that honored the best of both cultures 🤝 Today, the unified organization is thriving, with engaged employees collaborating seamlessly to drive innovation and growth. By investing in culture from the start, our client turned a potential clash into a cohesive success story. 💡How do people feel about your organization? #CultureIntegration #MandASuccess #EmployeeEngagement

Culture may eat strategy for breakfast, or strategy may eat culture – it does not matter. I believe both must be in alignment. If one misaligns with the other, both will fall. They will eat each other for breakfast. When it comes to M&A integrations, ensuring that the strategy aligns with the "to-be" culture is crucial to avoid a culture clash.

Many organisations in life sciences are undergoing change and as we look ahead to 2024, we can expect high levels of change to continue. The volume of mergers and acquisitions are expected to remain high in 2024 - and organisation models are being reshaped to accelerate innovation for patients and increase agility and efficiency. So with all this change underway, how can organisations keep their culture? And why does this matter? This piece captures some great insights that are critical for successful change and employee engagement programmes to be effective. It won’t surprise you that continual insight gathering, active listening and analysis split per different regions and teams all help to assess and benchmark employee perceptions of culture and form strong foundations to strategic change plans. Moreover, as organisations change, it is important that company culture aligns to business purpose and strategy. And all that means….clear communications! How you engage employees on the change journey and articulate your company vision and culture can help organisations to thrive along their transformation journey into the next chapter, or if it’s lacking, risk low motivation, low performance and a risk to talent recruitment and retention . If this resonates in your organisation and you are one of the many undergoing change, it’s worth reflecting on as you plan for 2024.
