After the major slow down in European M&A transactions over the last couple of years, next year is expected to be a year of consolidation for most industries. It’s becoming clear that personnel issues are essential to the potential success or failure of an M&A deal. Without recognizing and managing human capital in merged companies the deal can never be called complete. The role of HR director is critical at the post-deal stage: to make employees more productive, to stimulate their performance, to introduce them smoothly to change, to retain talent, to deal with cultural differences, to create a renewed corporate culture and to ensure that the integration process is successful and complete.
