sion and values complementary to one another are also integral for an uncomplicated merger. LPC and HP, in their merger, explained that comple- mentary values were one of the reasons they decided to come together. Kowa-Morelli said, “One prime focus for bringing Huston Patterson and LPC together is to build an innovative and reliable company that provides litho labels and top sheets to the packaging industry. There is a strong desire to provide a workplace that people enjoy coming to every day and will be sustainable long term.” Hawkins added to that point, saying, “Our focus when bringing our two companies together is to continue our mission by put- ting our customers’ wants and needs first and keep them as the core of our business model.” Kowa-Morelli and Hawkins are also both concentrated on maintaining consistent performance from employees.

Since their merger, LPC and HP have focused on en- hancing their HR through a newly established HR commit- tee and subset groups, encouraging HR to form company communications with employees that are consistent to en- sure employee feedback is being heard, acknowledged, and put into action. 5. Blending Missions When companies merge, their mission statements should change to align with their respective goals, core values, and overall priorities. By blending missions, a com- pany’s goal is more reflective of its broad audience, creat- ing more sustainable, lasting connections. A similar mis-
