The process of merging two or more companies presents both challenges and opportunities. The potential for value creation is immense, but unlocking this value necessitates a well-planned and executed Post-Merger Integration (PMI).

Over the past year, many CEOs have commented that they are experiencing a period of rapidly increasing demand for their goods and services. Although this is the problem that most companies wish for, a collection of headwinds have successfully kept corporate growth rates within reasonable spectrums. The great resignation, supply chain & transportation issues, and increasing inflation are all making it hard to maintain margin while increasing market share.

Over the last few weeks, we have worked with some customers on identifying ways to decrease employee turnover. In our discussions, I have been amazed at the benefits and incentives that business owners have provided to their teams. The interesting thing is that regardless of what they provide, they tell me that the turnover KPI still does not decrease. I have done some extensive research and found the number one way to decrease turn is sometimes the most overlooked.
