​

Pre merger:

 

  • Select a merger and acquisition project team and leader.

  • Ensure everyone involved can learn from the process.

  • Perform cultural assessments of the merging businesses.

  • Create practices for learning and knowledge transfer.

​

  • Designing new teams.

  • Creating new structures.

  • Retaining key employees.

  • Motivating employees.

  • Managing the change process.

  • Deciding on workable HR policies.

  • Selecting the appropriate candidates where there is competition for jobs.

​

Post integration HR should work on:

  • Developing new teams.

  • Establishing the new culture and structure.

  • Solidifying leadership and staffing.

  • Assessing the new culture.

  • Assessing new strategies and structures.

  • Assessing the culture of the new employees.

Mergers & Acquisitions

Merging your organisation, or even being acquired by another business, brings with it a number of challenges. Not just for your board and finance director. Your HR team, if you have one, will also face challenges during the transition. For example if you are the acquiring company you will be expected to perform due diligence on the business you are planning to buy.
