Simulation Details

Stratus Partners is a leading global consultancy specializing in strategic change for healthcare, technology, and finance sectors. The firm is recognized for its data-driven approach, using advanced analytics and proprietary platforms to deliver measurable improvements for clients. Recently, Stratus Partners merged with Evolve Strategies, a respected European consultancy known for its expertise in telemedicine and digital health. This merger expanded Stratus Partners’ reach and introduced new cultural dynamics, as Evolve Strategies brings a collaborative, structured European work culture that contrasts with Stratus Partners’ agile, fast-paced North American style. The integration has created both opportunities and challenges, with notable impacts on employee engagement, communication, and project delivery.

You are the newly hired HR Manager at Stratus Partners, tasked with addressing the urgent challenges following the merger with Evolve Strategies. In a one-on-one chat with Samuel Tambo, the Chief People Officer, you must present a clear, actionable HR strategy to improve employee engagement, reduce attrition, and resolve cross-cultural team friction. During the conversation, you will propose your plan, respond to Samuel’s questions, and demonstrate both cultural sensitivity and strategic HR expertise. Your goal is to select the most impactful initiatives, justify your choices with data and cultural insights, and adapt your recommendations in real time based on feedback—all through direct conversation.

– Present a concise, data-driven HR strategy in conversation with the Chief People Officer.
– Respond to questions and feedback, demonstrating communication skills, cultural intelligence, and technical leadership.
– Align your proposed initiatives with business objectives and measurable outcomes.
– Secure verbal agreement on next steps through effective dialogue.
