When integrating companies, it is important to understand what the employees feel about it, what they think about the processes put in place, and to know if they see some risks that the integration teams have not seen. This past November, Sika carried out its second Parex pulse check survey, one year after the first one. Sent to more than 700 employees, the purpose was to check if improvements could be seen, and if the level of satisfaction was holding firm. Some of the exciting results below.

93%
believe they have the required people capabilities and resources to achieve the synergy ambition and achieve successful integration, while only 85% believed so a year ago

This shows that time and effort are key components for successful integration, and Sika will continue to monitor the employees’ perceptions on a regular basis.
