Risks of any business transition include diversion of management’s attention from the core business,
loss of key staff, and unanticipated costs. Mitigate these risks by:
• Focusing on the HR issues at every stage of the process and addressing the issues early.
• Demonstrating your commitment to employees by working with the buyer, seller and target
company teams to address the people issues from the very beginning.
• Engaging an HR partner with experience on all sides of a transaction to provide insight on the
impact of the transaction on each stakeholder, plan and program.
• Outsourcing the planning and execution of the full HR strategy until the transition or integration
is complete.
• Understanding the financial, operational and motivational impact of all aspects of the proposed
people strategy.
