Where it started
Our work began just prior to them merging four companies into one. They wanted to continue to work as usual with minimal impact on their people and customers, while enabling their leadership team to truly understand their people through a mix of capability and engagement.
WHO
A professional services financial advisory firm, the result of the coming together of four financial advice firms.
WHAT
Bringing 4 small organisations together under one roof, creating a new brand seeking to drive differentiation in a market that continues to consolidate and mature. Our challenge was to keep business as usual, while reducing the get to know you time for new colleagues and enable the leadership team to truly understand their people, while paving the way for additional mergers in the future.
The brief
- Give the leadership team tools to understand their people through capability and engagement
- Minimise introductory time of employees, while looking at overlap and capability integration
- Build strong foundations for further acquisitions and align people to customer retention strategy
- Allow business as usual, while creating new brand and driving differentiation in consolidating market
How it's going
HOW
Acknowledging this period of massive change, we worked together to ensure everyone’s buy-in. We established the baseline Human Map before incorporating additional data layers, worked closely with the CEO and stakeholder group on communication and change management strategy, deployed full Humanico across the entire cohort in a team building style, and included whole of business strengths insight workshop.
RESULTS
We achieved 100% contribution across the motivation/engagement survey and near perfect Strengths assessment in record time.
- Digital tool for leadership teams to make informed people decisions and align capabilities with customer strategies
- Strong focus on execution and relationship-building talents identified, with 8 of 34 talent themes unrepresented
- Risk management tool to see gaps and overlaps post merger, drive intervention strategies across engagement and retention
- Common language established providing basis to build culture of strengths and create resonant EVP
The regular survey and feedback help us keep on the pulse of what we need to be doing to continue to provide a workplace where our team can thrive. I would highly recommend Humanico to any organisation looking to elevate their workforce management strategy."
