I’ve been in the same company through a few mergers, and every time, the culture clash feels impossible to fix. Has anyone seen creative solutions actually work for blending totally different cultures without losing people along the way?

I guess you could have more structured cross-team projects and regular open forums for honest conversations make a big difference. Highlight and celebrate quick wins that come from collaboration between the two teams. Nothing works like that to build trust faster and makes the blending process feel less forced.

I am a CPA based out of Canada. I have 7 years of corporate finance and FP&A work under my belt. My fiancé will be starting dental school in NZ by Feb’23. Aiming to be a direct flight away from her, I have started looking into work opportunities in Australia. Can any expat here share their experience with getting a job as a foreigner? Are there any recruitment firms that specialize in working with expat talent? What was the biggest culture shock moving to Australia?
