Merger/acquisition survey

Two thirds of mergers and acquisitions fail to deliver expected returns due to a lack of adequate cultural integration. The success of a merger or takeover depends largely on the degree of commitment, cooperation and communication between the people working at the merging organisations.

An Effectory employee survey provides you with a vital insight into the commitment and engagement of your employees in supporting a merger or takeover.

It is an excellent tool to measure where resistance is likely to occur, or is occurring, and to show which departments, business units or employees need specific attention.

An employee survey is also a key way of communicating to your employees that you value their opinion and input. After a merger or takeover an employee survey is crucial in determining, as well as celebrating, the success of the change.

Effectory has worked alongside some of the largest mergers and takeovers, where employee surveys were regarded as the most important source of management information available before, during and post merger.
