Mergers & Acquisitions
Many employees find themselves dealing with change due to a company merger or an acquisition. Use Focus Point to help employees understand their thoughts, feelings and emotions as they deal with various aspects of a merger or acquisition, including relocating and adjusting to a new organization, new job responsibilities, different polices and procedures, etc. Encourage employees to gain insight into their behavior  by using the two response forms to compare and contrast their behavior in the following situations:

	Reduce employee defection and turnover
	Current job responsibilities, new responsibilities
	Working with existing co-workers, working with new co-workers
	Adjust from comfortable policies and procedures to new policies and procedures

Change and Transition
Use Focus Point to help your clients understand their thoughts, feeling, and behavior as they respond to change. The insight gained will help employees make the transition from the old job to the new one. Situation in which Focus Point is useful includes:

	Mergers & Acquisitions
	Becoming a new manager
	Being assigned to new responsibilities
	Moving
	Getting married/divorced

Encourage respondents to use Focus Point twice, to compare and contrast their behavior in different or changing situations. For example:

	Working on team A; working on team B
	A previous job; my current job
	My current situation; my ideal situation

By comparing and contrasting responses, individuals are better able to explore their options and move forward with confidence. Focus Point's new response format includes sixty descriptive phrases. Respondents rate the phrases using a five-point scale, ranging from "very accurate" to "very inaccurate," in this situation. This format provides more in-depth, personalized feedback to help individuals:

	Understand and manage thoughts and emotions driving their behavior
	Gain perspective on how others may be viewing the same situation
	Increase their ability to respond in conscious, productive ways

In a world of continuous change, Focus Point helps individuals on their path towards self-discovery, and improved performance!
