Case Study: LHH Penna achieves stronger merger culture and employee engagement with Workday Peakon Employee Voice

LHH Penna successfully integrated two cultures while undergoing a merger

LHH Penna, a transformation specialist in professional and business services, faced a major cultural challenge after the merger of Penna and Lee Hecht Harrison. During the integration, leadership needed a way to preserve the best of both company cultures, identify employee stress points quickly, and keep teams aligned while rapid organizational changes were underway.

Using Workday Adaptive Planning’s Workday Peakon Employee Voice, LHH Penna gathered real-time employee feedback, acted on issues such as isolation outside London, and adjusted practices like rotating town halls and board meetings across offices. The company reported better engagement and culture visibility, and the UK & Ireland business was named “Country of the Year” internally; based on this success, Workday Adaptive Planning was rolled out across LHH offices worldwide.
