by | Feb 15, 2022

Not long before Jennifer Fondrevay joined Virtas Partners, she put on her prognosticator hat to provide an informed gaze into the unfolding future of M&A integration. 

Now that Jennifer is a key part of Virtas Partners’ M&A Services senior team, we share with pride her list of 5 M&A Integration Trends to Watch for in 2022, first published by MergerWare. 

Here’s her list in brief (but we encourage you to read the full article here):

  1. Human Resources won’t just have a seat at the deal table – they will have a voice
  2. The employee experience and engagement, already altered by the pandemic, will be additionally transformed by M&A and leveraged more proactively to retain talent
  3. As sales portfolios expand and contract, sales training will dramatically evolve and customer data management will influence the value of the deal
  4. The need for enhanced data management and cybersecurity protocols will slow deal integration efforts
  5. The ongoing war to attract and retain talent is forcing a more strategic approach to onboarding and commitment to workforce learning and development during deal due diligence
