In this episode of The Workplace, we explore the critical role of cultural integration in mergers and acquisitions. M&A deals often focus on financials, but the merging of company cultures can make or break the success of a merger. To help us navigate this complex process, we’re joined by Nosheen Subdar, Vice-President of Human Resources Europe and Asia at Penta, who played a pivotal role in integrating ten companies into one during Penta’s formation.

Nosheen shares her experience on how to align leadership, monitor employee sentiment, and build a unified employee brand post-merger. We’ll discuss the common pitfalls of M&A cultural integration, the importance of communication, and how businesses can diagnose cultural differences to ensure a smooth transition.

Tune in for insights on:

- The essential steps for cultural integration before, during, and after a merger.

- How to identify and address early signs of culture clash.

- Strategies for aligning leadership styles and building a unified team.

- Creating a sense of belonging among employees from diverse company cultures.
