Mergers & Acquisitions HR Support

Organized and deliberate attention to “people strategy” during any major organizational transition greatly increases the probability of that transition achieving its anticipated financial and technical objectives.

ERC offers experienced professional consultation to support the HR activities of new or transitioning organizations. Our focus primarily involves defining the human resources and employee communications strategy during the growth or transition period. ERC works with the executive and HR team to identify and implement specific strategies around leadership, organizational culture, compensation, performance management, talent management, benefits, rewards and recognition, organizational structure and employment practices.

Any organization planning for, or in the early stages of, a merger, acquisition, divestiture, start-up, or spin-off can benefit from ERC’s professional support in the following ways:

• The organization is better positioned to attract and retain key talent throughout the transition and in the future
• Settling of the new organization comes more quickly and with less fallout
• HR strategy implementation is more effective if strategies are developed out of a thoughtful decision making process
• Speed and openness of HR communications to the workforce decrease uncertainty, misinformation and disengagement among employees
• HR strategies that are linked to the overall business objectives help achieve business results
