HR WORK-STREAM IN Integration Projects

Just as much as a successful integration is about the right professional tools and project management, it is primarily all about people. They are key. In particular because the people involved have usually not met before and often work in different countries with different cultures. Even today, the importance – and the potential impact of this – is underestimated most of the time.

• Managing and leading the HR work-stream of the project
• Clarification of the collaboration and alignment with other work-streams 
• Defining the necessary balance between agile and traditional project methods
• Clarification of the role of HR and its main targets, in light of the overall change project
• Analysis of the actual situation vs. the due diligence report:
• • Labour law issues / employment relationships
  • HR administration processes
  • HR information system and payroll system
  • Key people (retention)
  • Culture, people's reaction to the acquisition, communication needs
  • Works council's attitude regarding the acquisition
• Creation of an HR integration plan
• Executing the plan
