Job Description:
What We Do Business leaders and communicators partner with
People & Transformation to enable significant changes related to
shifts in business strategy, large-scale transactions
(acquisitions, carve-outs, etc.), restructurings, compliance
updates, evolving ways of working and other mission-critical
initiatives. In each of these scenarios, the ability to create
value and unlock opportunity requires companies to align
organizational structures and day-to-day activities with the
necessary culture shifts, leadership behaviors, and talent
development strategies. People & Transformation draws on decades of
experience across industries and in every major geographic market
to assess gaps between the current and future state of a company,
analyze impacts on employees, customers, suppliers, and investors,
and use these inputs to develop successful and sustainable
transformation programs. Example Projects: Communications and
Engagement: From awareness to action: the right story delivered to
the right people in the right way at the right time delivers
commitment, performance, and effectiveness. We design and implement
internal communication campaigns that foster loyalty and enthusiasm
to drive business initiatives. Corporate Transactions: We help
clients align their people to accelerate the return on the
investment made in any transaction - whether that's helping them
integrate teams and processes following a merger or embrace new
ways of working in advance of going public. Restructuring: We
provide strategic communications, change management, and workforce
services to companies, boards of directors, lenders, creditors, and
buyers as they prepare for, execute, and emerge from financial and
organizational restructurings, including court-supervised
bankruptcies. Change Management: Our clients look to us for expert
guidance on transitioning from their current state to a new
reality, such as the changes that have come with the pandemic. We
do research to perform organizational assessments, enable leaders
in making changes, establish a shared vision of success, support
training, and communicate in ways that build a sense of momentum
and accomplishment over time. Organizational Culture: We help
clients build a deep understanding of existing programs and
policies as well as the unwritten rules and norms that define
day-to-day experiences, design programs that align teams around a
shared purpose and values, and differentiate the value the
organization provides employees to improve retention and
engagement. To learn more about how the People & Transformation
