Transformation

The new structure is in place.
The connection is missing.

Reorganization, cultural change, post-merger—everything is clear on paper. But in everyday life, new colleagues don't talk to each other. Workdate makes transformation socially tangible.

Does this sound familiar?

"Us" and "Them"

Three months after the merger, teams still work in their old structures. Same channel, but different worlds.

Invisible Colleagues

Nobody knows who can do what in the new area. Knowledge, contacts, and best practices remain behind invisible walls.

Townhalls Aren't Enough

The strategy is communicated, the slides are sent. But between understanding and trust lies a conversation that never happens.

The Window is Closing

Willingness to change has an expiration date. Those who wait too long for networks to form "naturally" lose their best people first.

Customer Example · E.ON / innogy

How Two Companies Became One Organi­zation

When E.ON and innogy merged, the challenge wasn't the organizational structure—it was bringing people together. Workdate orchestrated systematic networking across the entire combined organization. Over months, it facilitated thousands of conversations between employees from both companies, breaking down barriers and building a shared culture. The result: faster integration, lower attrition, and a unified organization where people from both legacy companies genuinely work together.
