PS - Any materials, thought leadership, research on companies going through change, e.g. acquisition

Hello! 

 

I've been searching the forum and other places for some research, thought pieces etc for what employees normally endure during times of change, e.g. acquisitions. Working with a client now where scores are decreasing and the senior leadership will in the insights presentation likely want to understand how other companies are doing, if they differ or are similar etc. 

 

I will of course emphasise that they first and foremost need to focus on their own results and act on opportunity areas of impact, but it would be helpful to be able to refer to some additional research or even anecdotal stories from other companies. In this case there seems to be a fear of culture changing and comms around the transformation not being clear.

 

Any help much appreciated!

 

Best, 

Pablo

      Thanks dzukic! I did find that one, has some good nuggets. Would be good with some more stats behind statements such as "Organizations that harness employee input on culture and integration effectiveness to anticipate and address challenges throughout the transition tend to see more stable engagement and productivity in the face of significant change." but this should work for now - the clear message is to continue listening, acting and involve employees in the transition.
