“M&A activity poses multiple challenges for companies in today’s global economy, requiring innovative and practical strategies for retaining key talent and integrating organizational cultures,” said Chuck Moritt, Chair, Mercer’s Global M&A Leadership Group. “This is especially true for companies in markets where high levels of employee mobility and significant differences in workplace and local cultures make post-deal integration a risky project.”
Added Moritt: “Our years of M&A experience tell us that strategic pre-deal preparation improves HR’s ability to support successful transactions. Addressing the people issues in all the transaction phases can ensure that the deal’s strategic and financial objectives are met.”
