Positive people = successful outcomes: managing talent and culture within the M&A lifecycle

Our Managing risk in a changing landscape series continues with a look at the issues related to pre and post integration of professional services firms. With the increasing trend of consolidation in the market, more firms are looking to merge and unite with others for a variety of strategic and financial reasons…..and while the reasons make sound business sense, the success of a merger can also be severely threatened if insufficient attention is given to the importance of keeping employees happy, engaged and feeling positive about the deal.

Whether it’s loss of talent straight out the door as soon as a merger or acquisition is announced, or poor results from teams finding it difficult to adjust, through to misalignment of leadership values – all these things cause short, medium and long-term problems which could be the difference between success or failure, and costly remedial action.

Please join us as we bring together a selection of experts to discuss the life-cycle of M&A: the challenges in talent management, the integration and harmonisation of workforce cultures, in working practices and reward structures.
