When a private equity firm acquired a healthcare division, they faced the complex challenge of carving out a new standalone company while preserving talent, continuity, and employee trust. With thousands of employees, a new CEO, and little time to spare, success hinged on effective change management and communication.
The PE firm needed to ensure a smooth transition and prevent disruption. They turned to People Results to design and execute a strategy that would align stakeholders, retain critical talent, and instill confidence. With deep expertise in workforce transformation, People Results partnered with the new leadership team to build a proactive engagement strategy that drove clarity, continuity, and momentum—setting the stage for a successful company launch
Issue:
- Carving out the new company
created high uncertainty,
risking disengagement and
attrition. - Critical talent retention was
essential to preserve
operational knowledge and
performance. - Leadership lacked an internal
communication framework to
align and reassure employees
quickly, making it difficult to
build trust and credibility in
the face of organizational
transformation.
Action:
- Designed a branded
communications strategy
tailored to internal and
external audiences. - Built and delivered consistent
messaging and materials to
reinforce key business goals. - Coached leaders and the new
CEO on communicating vision,
addressing concerns, and
building trust—ensuring
employee confidence
throughout the carve-out
process and aligning the workforce behind the new organization's mission.
Result:
- Retained 98% of critical talent,
ensuring continuity and
capability in the new company. - Enabled executives and
managers to lead confidently
through change with clarity and
consistency. - Successfully launched the
standalone company with strong
employee morale, clear direction,
and a leadership team equipped
to sustain momentum and drive
growth in a high-pressure, high-
stakes transition.
