Consulting

Offering expert insights and recommendations for your people-related issues and projects

Do any of these scenarios sound familiar?

You are committed to developing your managers but do not want to take a scattershot approach by sending them on random courses. You want a thoughtful, coordinated plan.

You carefully recruit university and college graduates, yet struggle to retain them beyond a year or two. Something is not working, but the cause is unclear.

You have acquired a smaller organization that adds valuable capability, but you already sense cultural differences that need to be addressed thoughtfully to preserve what works in both organizations.

The results of your most recent employee survey are concerning, and you know action is needed quickly in several key areas.

You are experiencing persistently high turnover in key roles, and while exit interviews point to culture, leadership, or workload, the underlying issues remain frustratingly hard to pin down.

Quality issues have begun to surface in your operations, and you suspect that gaps in training or capability are at the root of the problem.

Your performance management system is not delivering what it promised, and it is time to reassess where effort and resources should really be focused.

You have a sense that something in the workplace climate is off. Trust feels fragile, tensions are simmering, and informal feedback suggests pockets of toxicity or disengagement, but you need a clear, evidence-based understanding of what is really happening before you act.

You know your people need renewed motivation and focus, but stepping away from day-to-day pressures, even briefly, feels difficult to justify.

Motivating employees is an ongoing process, and one of the best ways to re-energize a team is to get them away and out of the office, even for a short time, from the challenges and pressures of the day-to-day

If these scenarios feel familiar, it is because they are. Organizations often have multiple people-related projects and issues on the to-do list, but limited time and internal capacity mean they linger far too long. This is where consulting support can make a real difference.

Working with Merge is nothing like working with the big Human Resource consulting firms!

Practical insight that moves you forward

Merge works with organizations to provide focused insight and practical recommendations on leadership development, engagement, communication, talent strategies, and organizational effectiveness. Whether you are looking for an experienced external perspective on survey results, guidance on improving retention, or help designing a more coherent approach to leadership capability, Merge helps you move from uncertainty to action.

Consulting work can be conducted in person, virtually, or in hybrid formats, depending on the scope and nature of the project. Virtual consulting engagements are structured to maintain depth, confidentiality, and momentum, while allowing organizations to move efficiently without unnecessary disruption.

If your issue or project is connected in any way to developing leaders or better leveraging your human potential, Merge can likely add value.

A different kind of consulting experience

Working with Merge is not like working with large, traditional HR consulting firms. While she has consulted to several major firms, her approach is deliberately different.

You will not encounter teams of junior consultants armed with templates, spreadsheets, and slide decks. Instead, Merge offers perspective. Drawing on experience with more than 300 organizations across corporate, government, and not-for-profit sectors, she works in a focused, understated, and pragmatic way.

Through targeted interviews, thoughtful conversations, and questions that surface what truly matters, Merge provides a professional assessment and clear recommendations from an external point of view. That external perspective is critical. With no attachment to past decisions or internal politics, she is able to offer advice that is candid, balanced, and unencumbered by organizational defensiveness.

Exploring whether consulting is the right fit

If you would like to see examples of how Merge has supported organizations through complex people-related challenges, we invite you to review our Consulting case studies, as well as those under Facilitation.

You are also welcome to contact us to arrange a brief conversation with Merge about your specific situation. In a 30-minute call, she will help you determine whether consulting support would be useful and how it might be structured. On occasion, Merge may not be the right consultant for a particular project. If that is the case, she will tell you directly and do her best to point you toward an appropriate alternative.
