People & Change in Transaktionen

Transactions have a deep impact on the organization - especially on the HR function and employees. Our team supports companies throughout the entire deal cycle with a clear focus on HR-related areas of action. The aim is to identify and manage risks at an early stage - for example through measures to retain key employees, reduce resistance within the company or avoid labor law conflicts. At the same time, we create the conditions to secure and increase deal value in the long term - through the targeted design of HR structures, the workforce and the corporate culture.

In close cooperation with our colleagues from the Integration & Separation, Transaction Services and KPMG Law departments, we support integrations, carve-outs, due diligences and the establishment of joint ventures - comprehensively and from a single source.

In doing so, we concentrate on the central people issues of the transaction:

• HR function: realignment of the HR organization for the efficient and cost-effective provision of services in the target company
• Stakeholder engagement & communication: Supporting managers and employees through transparent communication and targeted change measures to achieve the deal objective
• Organization & Talent: Development and implementation of target operating models, talent strategies, retention programs, management audits and compensation concepts
• Employee transfer & employment law: strategic planning and implementation of personnel transfers, taking into account the legal framework and operational requirements

With our integrated expertise, we ensure that people issues do not become a secondary role in the M&A process - but a decisive success factor.
