Many health care organizations participated in a merger and acquisition (M&A) in 2018, and this trend will continue. It is important to proactively address cross-cultural integration issues in the M&A process, with diversity and inclusion as an important component. Senior human resources and diversity practitioners are charged with understanding the internal company culture as well as the culture of the geographic region(s) in which the current, merged or acquired company operates. As such, HR and diversity and inclusion leads are responsible for recognizing potential conflicts during and after the merger or acquisition.

How will you prepare for the unexpected?

If you manage human resources during or after M&A, or lead merger and acquisition activity you won’t want to miss this webinar!

Objectives:

• Recognize the reasons for growth in health care mergers and acquisitions (M&A).
• Identify the steps for transformational change following health care M&A.
• Examine successful practices to effectively merge and sustain an inclusive health care culture.
