Overview
There may be no better way to prepare for your next critical transaction than by participating in our M&A Ready Executive Development Program. Gain valuable insights into the key people risks and opportunities for various deal types so you can identify and manage people-related challenges, optimize the price paid, and capture greater synergies from the transaction.
These two days of discussions and presentations, facilitated by senior Mercer consultants, will include, among other topics, best practices and current thinking on critical people/HR issues that drive and determine M&A success. Just a few of those all-important issues are key talent assessment and retention, workforce engagement, compensation and benefit benchmark data, and cultural integration (the alignment of business strategy, structure, processes, and people).
Duration: Two-day program with light prework.
Format: Combination of presentation, facilitated deal simulation, and open, confidential group discussions.
Global Faculty: Highly experienced senior Mercer M&A transaction consultants bring their deal experience with proven strategic solutions for success.

Senior HR executives: The Mercer M&A Ready™ Executive Development Program prepares you to tackle the critical people issues that drive M&A success – issues such as retention, key talent assessment, workforce engagement, compensation and benefits, and cultural integration (i.e. the alignment of business strategy, structure, processes and people).
