SURVEY RESULTS-HIGH/LOW COMPARISON Another way to examine the survey results is to look at the ‘High’ responses (5&4’s) and compare those against the ‘Low’ responses (1&2’s) excluding the middle rating altogether. Here’s what that looks like. © PRITCHETT LP 800 -992 -5922 Merger. Integration. com

POSITIVE FEEDBACK TEAMWORK Amazing teamwork and super effort on everyone’s part to complete merger by deadline. Outstanding job done by all – we have a lot to be proud of. Senior management is right on track with the direction and focus of the company. We will be the best in the roofing business. The product launch was a terrific example of teamwork between the two organizations. © PRITCHETT LP 800 -992 -5922 Merger. Integration. com

AREA OF CONCERN: COMMUNICATIONS RELATED TO COMPANY PERFORMANCE Communication is minimal and more layered The video’s are OK, but more conference calls with Sr. Management to large groups would be better now. I believe communication can still be improved We need more timely information about our company’s profitability. I don’t know who is in charge of what now. Cross-functional communication between other departments and teams is non-existent creating duplication of efforts. © PRITCHETT LP 800 -992 -5922 Merger. Integration. com

AREA OF CONCERN: COMP & BENEFITS Changes to compensation are a big concern. With Target, we had a nice bonus plan, stock loans and an employee stock purchase plan. To date, there has been NO information about how this compensation is going to be replaced. The lack of an attractive “profit sharing plan” is a significant negative to former target employees. Our Healthcare plan is in need of improvement, cost and coverage. Some form of bonus other than SOP would be a great benefit. Not happy with medical benefits change of not keeping spouse on insurance. We should have a better bonus program. © PRITCHETT LP 800 -992 -5922 Merger. Integration. com

AREA OF CONCERN: DEVELOPMENTAL OPPORTUNITIES The organization needs to reach out to its “high potentials” and provide an update with tangible opportunities for advancement before they become disenchanted and leave to pursue career goals elsewhere. An employee’s strengths should be reviewed and utilized. Levels of appreciation and recognition have not improved. © PRITCHETT LP 800 -992 -5922 Merger. Integration. com
