We provide the HR delivery capacity to support both due diligence and post-acquisition integration, giving you confidence that people, processes, and compliance are managed throughout.

The Challenge

Mergers and acquisitions put HR at the centre of the deal. In the early stages, buyers and investors need accurate HR due diligence — assessing employee liabilities, terms and conditions, and potential risks. After the deal, the focus shifts to integration: aligning contracts, policies, systems, and cultures across the combined organisation.

For HR leaders, both stages can be overwhelming. Due diligence requires speed and precision under strict timelines; integration demands extensive delivery capacity and careful change management. Few HR teams have the bandwidth to do it all, especially alongside business as usual.

How We Help

We provide experienced HR delivery teams who support both the deal and integration phases of acquisitions. We can shape your approach and provide the delivery capacity to execute it effectively.

HR Due Diligence

  • Reviewing employee data, contracts, and liabilities
  • Highlighting risks and obligations (e.g. pensions, TUPE, redundancies)
  • Preparing HR due diligence reports for buyers and investors

Post-Acquisition Integration

  • Aligning policies, contracts, and benefits across entities
  • Supporting employee communications and consultation where required
  • Coordinating employee transfers, onboarding, and systems integration

Ongoing Delivery Support

  • Providing scalable HR delivery capacity during integration peaks
  • Ensuring compliance across legal and employment obligations
  • Helping employees and managers navigate change with confidence

We bring proven HR due diligence and integration experience — giving you confidence that every detail is managed from deal to delivery.
