How do you manage transformation in an era of constant, disruptive change? We believe that for transitions to be successful, we must reach the hearts and minds of employees to bring them along the journey, with an equal mix of art and science. The science consists of the processes, tools, and behavior analytics to reach the right person with the right experience at the right time. The art is the storytelling and culture-shaping expertise that accelerates and amplifies that journey and makes it stick. Together, they create a compelling experience that shifts mindsets and behaviors to drive long-term impact.
Our work shapes several critical elements of the employee experience:
· Culture: Activating new ways of working to support the organization’s core purpose
· Change: Leading the organization through the upheaval and uncertainty of transformation
· Communications: Engaging and connecting employees in a modern, employee-centric way

We partner seamlessly with the broader Edelman network and have dedicated specialists in our data analytics and digital teams.
