Culture Integration
Course Description
Mergers, acquisitions, and reorganizations all have one thing in common—a disruption of established relationships, communication patterns, and organizational culture. In these situations, the acquired workforce is often left without a guide to help them discover the “way things are done around here.”

Culture Integration is designed to reduce the confusion and challenges that accompany most acquisition and restructuring efforts. Our process guides leaders and newly- acquired employees through the various stages of cultural integration through workshops and one-on-one sessions.
