Acquisition of companies?

Knowledge about employees is highly important in connection with ownership changes, major investments, or company mergers.
Understanding the company culture, how managers perform, the employees’ perception of the company, and customer satisfaction is of utmost importance.
We can offer an independent employee review (EIDD) as part of a due diligence process. The review is carried out by R-Företagen, who have extensive experience in training leaders and in evaluating and measuring different company cultures.

Conducting an EIDD provides many insights and learnings about a company, such as:

• A quantifiable measurement and review of company culture compared to other companies in the same industry and size. This highlights strengths and weaknesses that may need attention going forward.
• Internal factors that are essential for a well-functioning company are measured and reported.
• Leadership is evaluated at the overall company level.
• The psychosocial work environment, relationship parameters, potential risk factors, and other obstacles to future growth are assessed.
• Ethics, values, and truth claims are measured and evaluated. This reveals much about the company’s reputation and customer loyalty, and can also be an important indicator of whether the company is truthful in how it presents itself and in the information it provides.
• Employee engagement and loyalty to the company are measured.
• An evaluation of customer satisfaction is carried out, based on employees’ perceptions.

Examples:

• When purchasing or investing in a company, it is essential to know as much as possible about its employees, since this affects the company’s value and future risks. Having an EIDD conducted by an independent party with expertise in the field should therefore be standard practice in every company acquisition.
• When two companies merge, the challenge of staff integration is often underestimated. Each company has its own culture, so it is important to understand the cultures, strengths, and weaknesses of each before beginning this process. This allows preventive measures to be implemented before the merger starts, which facilitates future collaboration.
