Strategic Role of HR in Planning and Delivering Successful M&A post-deal Integration

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.

Turning 'Theory' into 'Practice'?

This two day course covers M&A integration and separation, targeted towards HR and Communications people. Course participants will be exposed to first hand experience in all aspects of post-deal integration, including change management, cross-cultural management, communications, corporate culture alignment, integration for HR and HR integrating the company. Our training course will help HR professionals to prepare and adapt to working in M&A deal and post-deal environment when it comes to integration of departments, functions, groups, units, businesses and companies.

Who should attend?

The course is designed for HR directors and managers, communication managers, team leaders and other professionals who are responsible for managing the personnel of the company after M&A deal
