4 Ways the HR Role is Pivotal to M&A Success (Part 4 in a series)
Submitted by Willis Towers Watson, a partner of M&A Leadership Council
If you’ve been following this series, you know that your workforce is likely changing due to increased automation. You also know that Total Rewards strategies are likely to undergo significant transformation in the next few years. And that it’s time to reevaluate your company’s wellbeing strategy in light of recent data highlighting the lackluster performance of programs to date. But what may not yet be on your radar as an HR leader is how corporate restructuring following a merger, acquisition or divestiture could affect your role. And perhaps more importantly – the huge value you can add in each of these areas.
Global mergers and acquisitions (M&A) reached a record high in the first quarter of 2018, totaling $1.2 trillion, an increase of 67% from the first quarter of 20171. In the health care sector alone, M&A deal value surged in 2017, rising 27% to $332 billion, while deal count increased 16%2.
