Free HR M&A Checklist

Are You Deal-Ready?

Download Converge’s practical HR M&A Checklist to assess workforce structure, compensation and benefits, employment agreements, compliance, culture, HR systems, Day 1 readiness, and post-integration priorities.

M&A due diligence is about more than financials and operations. The workforce, leadership team, employment obligations, HR systems, and culture can all affect the success of a transaction.

This checklist gives deal teams a practical framework to help identify important HR questions before close and plan for the transition that follows.

What’s Inside

The checklist takes you from pre-deal due diligence through post-integration planning.

It covers:

9

Workforce structure, headcount, leadership dependencies, and key talent

9

Compensation, benefits, equity, and retirement plans

9

HRIS, payroll, and employee data

9

Compliance history, employee claims, wage and hour issues, and leave

9

Employee handbooks, HR policies, and HR technology

9

30-, 60-, and 90-day post-integration priorities

9

Employment agreements, severance, and change-of-control provisions

9

Culture, communication, organizational design, and retention

9

Day 1 readiness

Use It to Create Structure Around Your HR Review

The checklist can help your team organize the questions that need to be answered, identify potential people and compliance risks, and clarify which issues require follow-up before close.

It also creates a shared framework for conversations between HR, finance, operations, legal counsel, and other members of the deal team. The goal is to bring people considerations into the transaction early enough to act on them, rather than treating HR as a final-stage activity.
