Human Capital Diligence
A Strategic Approach to Human Capital throughout the Deal Lifecycle
Aon’s Human Capital Due Diligence solutions are designed to evaluate the target’s existing employee benefits plans talent, benefits and rewards programs, and HR operations, including red flags, timelines and benchmarking. We help clients uncover relevant data needed from the seller, analyze data within deal parameters, and manage timelines and communication. We work to complete an evaluation of the target organization’s HR and benefit program to quantify financial liabilities and compliance risks to adjust the financial model, helping you negotiate more competitive pricing. We help identify synergies or dis-synergies for early integration planning. We help organizations gain valuable insights of people-related risks and obligations in key areas that can make, break, or shape the deal by helping them to:
