HR's Role In M&A: Due Diligence, Culture, and Integration | with Diane Dooley

Описание: HR's Role In M&A: Due Diligence, Culture, and Integration | with Diane Dooley
“Each acquisition has its own fingerprints. You kind of think, oh, it's an acquisition. No, it's all different.” - Diane Dooley

Diane Dooley, a CHRO and consultant, joined me this week to discuss what HR’s role in mergers & acquisitions is, and why HR is so key to that process. We talked about doing the right due diligence before an acquisition, how to merge cultures, and how to navigate the different reactions that employees inevitably have.

Diane and I also dove into the psychology of both the buyer and the seller in an M&A transaction, and why the reasons to buy are often not the same as those to sell. Founders often have much more emotions surrounding the transaction, which have to be taken into account to make sure the transition is as smooth as possible for them and their employees.

Join me this week on Self-Funded with Spencer to find out what HR’s role is in the M&A process!
