Listen "HR's Role In M&A: Due Diligence, Culture, and Integration | with Diane Dooley"
Episode Synopsis
“Each acquisition has its own fingerprints. You kind of think, oh, it's an acquisition. No, it's all different.” - Diane DooleyDiane 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!Chapters:00:00:00 HR’s Role In M&A: Due Diligence, Culture, and Integration | with Diane Dooley00:08:08 Assessing Cultural Fit in M&A00:15:49 Thorough Due Diligence When Acquiring00:20:52 Impact of Company Culture in Mergers00:25:26 Navigating Integration With Change Management 00:39:17 Leadership Continuity00:41:54 The Importance of Employee Incentives00:46:37 Avoiding Hiring Mistakes01:06:51 Being Proactive In HRKey Links for Social:@SelfFunded on YouTube for video versions of the podcast and much more - https://www.youtube.com/@SelfFundedListen/watch on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1TjmrMrkIj0qSmlwAIevKA?si=068a389925474f02Listen on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-funded-with-spencer/id1566182286Follow Spencer on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencer-smith-self-funded/Follow Spencer on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/selffundedwithspencer/Key Words: HR, Mergers And Acquisitions, M and A, Mergers, Acquisitons, CHRO, Due Diligence, Culture, Integration, Change Management, Succession, Recruitment, Diane Dooley, spencer smith, podcast, healthcare, health insurance, self funded, self funding, self funded health insurance, self funded insurance#HR #MergersAndAcquisitions #MandA #Mergers #Acquisitons #CHRO #DueDiligence #Culture #Integration #ChangeManagement #Succession #Recruitment #dianedooley #spencersmith #podcast #healthcare #healthinsurance #selffunded #selffunding #selffundedhealthinsurance #selffundedinsurance
