Unlocking organisational potential: Accelerating business integration through insight-driven research

Unlocking organisational potential: Accelerating business integration through insight-driven research

Integrating large groups of employees can be a complex process that comes with its own set of challenges. These challenges can arise from various factors such as differences in culture, communication styles, work habits, and organisational structures. Understanding how these challenges can be worked through with insight and solutions created enables transformation and the benefits or goals realised.

Often organisations come together bringing large pools of data including HR analytics, Employee Surveys and L&D data, analysing these takes time and interpreting the data can take longer. This can slow the process of decision making and transformation.

We have developed research tools applying our behavioural science solutions, that enable organisations to broaden their understanding of people and use their pools of data more insightfully and efficiently, through providing understanding of employee emotional pathways and how those influence behaviour. ?

Here are some common challenges we see through our work associated with integrating large groups of employees.

Aligned to each of the challenges are the research solutions we can deploy to enable focus on driving business results:

Communication breakdown: As the number of employees increases, effective communication becomes more difficult. Information might not flow smoothly, leading to misunderstandings, confusion, and potential errors.

Cultural differences: Large groups often consist of employees from diverse backgrounds, regions, or even different companies (in the case of mergers or acquisitions). These cultural differences can affect team dynamics, decision-making processes, and overall productivity.

Maru Explore will provide a safe space to understand where those cultural differences exist and what employees expect of team cohesion and diversity management.

Creating staff groups to share experiences of best practice and where work needs doing allows everyone to have a voice.

Loss of individuality and team cohesion: Large groups may find it challenging to maintain the sense of camaraderie and team cohesion that smaller groups naturally foster. Employees may feel lost in the crowd and struggle to connect with colleagues.

Maru Explore will provide a safe space for staff to collaborate with new colleagues and share ideas to understand how everyone can be embraced in the changes integration brings.

Why not engage employee champions to share and discuss across working groups and experiences of best practice and allow everyone to have a voice and contribute.

Training and onboarding: Introducing a large number of new employees or integrating existing teams require significant training and onboarding efforts. This process can be time-consuming and costly, especially when it comes to maintaining consistent quality across all employees.
