Hewlett-Packard and Qwest: Shared Services, Independent Identities

How do you move hundreds of employees from one company to another without missing a beat? Hewlett Packard and Qwest did it - with some help from CoMotion. It's not an easy job. For employees, the transition is fraught with uncertainty - from pay to benefits to management. While managers have to ensure that doubts or confusion won't jeopardize ongoing operations and customer relations. CoMotion eliminated the risks by showing Qwest employees a clear path to their new home at HP. We armed management on both sides with the facts and tools they needed to get the right messages across. And through welcome announcements, meeting materials and personalized answer channels, we gave employees what they needed to stay focused on their jobs - and join HP with confidence.
