Survival of the Fittest: How to Solve Critical Workforce Issues During M&A

Perhaps the most significant reorganisation is a merger or acquisition. During an M&A, time is critical. With every week in the planning process, costs increase, key talent flees, and the combined organisations' ability to meet business goals is in greater jeopardy. OrgPlus helps merger teams plan and manage workforce change throughout each step of the M&A process. With OrgPlus, mergers and acquisitions are completed faster and with better, more informed decisions.

• In pre-deal due diligence, OrgPlus enables acquisition teams to rapidly build a picture of each organisation, complete with costs, reporting relationships and other key data. This reveals nuances that can significantly affect the value and outcome of the merger.
• When planning the integration, the OrgPlus intuitive modeling environment proves invaluable in its ability to rapidly create multiple 'what if' scenarios with metrics that reflect financial implications of each. Teams can easily identify duplicate or missing roles and align resources to fix the problem. Each scenario also will show how close their plan is to meeting headcount and budget objectives.
• In the integration and communication stages, OrgPlus can combine workforce data from both companies into an accurate org chart long before ERP systems are updated or implemented. This enables the acquisition team to share integration roadmaps with managers, provide adjusted budgets, and quickly share a the new organisation with employees.

OrgPlus played a valuable role in our merger with Ark Life. Using OrgPlus, we were able to achieve significant time savings coupled with improved efficiency and strategic effectiveness. OrgPlus will remain valuable to our business by providing an accurate, easy to interpret view of our workforce data, essential for ongoing resource planning.
