Norwegian term or phrase: Konsernfølelse

Hi - I'm having trouble coming up with the right English translation for this. It appears in the breakdown of results of a management review under "Further matters to be discussed"

Thanks for your help!

Konsernfølelse er et gjengangstema i HMS- møter. Erfaringsutveksling på tvers av avdelinger er nevnt som et tiltak. Ansatte ønsker mer informasjon om hva som skjer på ledelsesnivå(visjoner/mål, regnskapstall, nye kunder, etc.)

Sense of corporation identity

Explanation:
Konsern - corporation
følelse - feeling

"Corporate identity" can refer to both how the public and its members perceive it. A more literal translations would be "corporate feeling", but I'd say that's too ambiguous and potentially negatively loaded.

Vor einem Jahr übernahm die Sheetfed den insolventen Druckmaschinenhersteller Manroland. Für die verbliebenen Mitarbeiter ist das "Konzern-Gefühl" aber weg.
Det gir litt konsernfølelse, sier den eneste ansatte i selskapet.
