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):
- Human Resources won’t just have a seat at the deal table – they will have a voice
- The employee experience and engagement, already altered by the pandemic, will be additionally transformed by M&A and leveraged more proactively to retain talent
- As sales portfolios expand and contract, sales training will dramatically evolve and customer data management will influence the value of the deal
- The need for enhanced data management and cybersecurity protocols will slow deal integration efforts
- 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
