Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) continue to be an essential part of today’s business landscape. Despite unpredictable economic conditions, many leaders view M&A pursuits as critical to their business growth strategies. At the same time, it is no secret, and supported by decades of research, that most deals fail to realize their projected value due to poor integration of human capital elements and lack of HR’s involvement early enough in the deal process to effectively identify, prepare for, and respond to human capital risks.
Our HR due diligence assessment includes the systematic collection and analysis of data regarding HR practices and programs, critical talent, and culture alignment revealing insights into target fit, cost, deal feasibility, and post-transaction integration planning. This work takes place at the intersection of people and the deal strategy. We can take the lead or supplement your M&A team.
We provide M&A HR due diligence and integration guidance in the following areas:
- HR practices, programs, policies, and plans
- Identification of talent needs, assets, and key personnel retention risks to ensure short-term integration and long-term transaction success
- Organizational culture assessment and alignment
- Leadership team assessment
- Redesign of HR operations/service delivery model
- Payroll/HRIS/HCM technology integration/harmonization
- Workforce communications and change management support
- Integration/Post-Deal performance tracking
