Acquisition, DD & Integration
People risk becomes deal risk. People capability creates deal value.
People due diligence should do more than count employees and check contracts. It should identify leadership and talent dependency, liabilities, reward commitments, culture and management risk, and the implications for integration.
What this includes
- workforce profile
- company structure
- leadership and critical talent
- employment documentation and employee relations
- reward, incentives and equity
- retention
- People systems and data
- culture
- management dependency
- integration implications
