In brief:

Getting to grips with a company merger or acquisition is one of the most challenging issues HR professionals face. Understanding the employment law issues, and critical people issues such as leadership, employee communications, talent retention and cultural alignment are vital for success and can really make a difference to the long term merit of the transaction.

With the high degree of UK and overseas activity in this complex area and the increasing role of HR in the M&A process it is essential that HR specialists become involved in the pre- merger and acquisition processes such as due diligence right through to the integration process and post deal activities. Whether your organisation is considering a merger or an acquisition in the near future - or is currently involved in the M&A process - you can help to ensure that the value of the deal is realised throughout your organisation

Who should attend:

Directors, HR directors, HR managers, HR policy advisors, remuneration managers, employee relations managers, communication managers, operations directors
