Hello everyone, I’m working on a feature article for The IOSH Magazine on change management – specifically, how companies, when they take over other companies, or operations thereof, or take on new contracts with existing staff and procedures, manage the transfer of their organisation’s safety culture to a new group of employees. Essentially, I'm looking at TUPE transfers but focusing on the organisational and cultural aspects rather than employment-law issues. To that end, I would love to hear from anyone who has experienced such a situation – either as part of the incoming company, where you had to roll out your practices and procedures across the company you took over and try to ensure they were understood and accepted by your new workforce; or as part of the company being taken over, where you had to adapt to a new way of doing things, which may have been better or worse than what you were used to. I’m also keen to hear from any of you who worked on a consultancy basis for client companies going through such changes – the problems they faced and how these were addressed. The aim of the article is to give food for thought to your fellow practitioners who may be about to go through such a process, helping them prepare for it and, ultimately, manage it successfully. Please do feel free to post your thoughts on this thread, or PM me with your details so I can get in touch with you directly. Obviously, I will not use your name or the names of any companies you mention without your express permission (but if you are happy to be quoted by name, that’s great!) Many thanks in advance for your help, Tina
