Carve-Outs / M&A

Increase the outcomes of your M&A activities.

Too many deals fail to unlock the envisaged value due to HR-related challenges. Carving out the HR function starts before signing a deal and only ends after implementing a long-term strategy. All layers must interweave during the process, from strategy and software to talent and timeline. Only a comprehensive approach ensures success.

Our continuous support secures a functioning HR organization throughout the process, backing the transaction and mitigating people-related risks. You will achieve Day 1 readiness with an optimal setup, laying the foundation for the organization’s future success.

Transaction & Deal Support

A carve-out or M&A deal involves various stakeholders with different interests and responsibilities. Their needs change throughout the process, and so does the agreement itself. Scope, contractual obligations, budget, and data requirements are moving targets with a high complexity level.

We work closely with you to maximize the deal’s value and accelerate your timeline. Our experienced team will ensure a smooth transaction for HR, from initial scoping and data room coordination to stakeholder alignment and translating deal terms into actionable plans.

Carve-Out & Standalone Readiness

There is no blueprint for transitioning your HR unit to a standalone entity. Factors such as core priorities, functional solution design, organization size, or countries involved define your best solution to thrive independently. We’re here to help make that transition a success.

Our team will dig deep to analyze and optimize every aspect of the HR carve-out, from compiling a comprehensive as-is analysis for all HR services and IT issues to creating an interim HR TOM and defining how to implement the transition. We will stay by your side to carry out all steps across every aspect of HR, ensuring that your HR function has a solid foundation for future success and growth.
