Mergers and Acquisitions Playbook

The people dimension of a merger or acquisition is often the hardest to get right, and the most consequential when it goes wrong. Cultural misalignment, talent flight, and integration delays can erode the value of even the most strategically sound deal. This playbook gives HR leaders a practical framework for managing the full M&A lifecycle, from due diligence and deal close through workforce integration, covering talent retention, compensation harmonization, benefits alignment, and the cultural work that makes long-term integration succeed.
