HR leadership | How to deal with a business acquisition

Turbulent times within a business can be a real test as to how employers handle difficult situations and whether or not employees will remain loyal to the organisation.

This is particularly true when a business goes through a merger or new acquisition, as it can leave staff members feeling vulnerable and unsure about their future roles. In fact, according to a report by EY, 47% of key employees leave a company within a year of a transaction and 75% say their goodbyes within the first three years.
