Human Capital Advisory Services
In a recent Hay Group study, 87% of senior executives identifed sucession planning, recruiting and selecting leaders, providing leaders with the skills they need to be sucessful, and retaining leaders as their top human capital challenges. Early-stage companies typically face these challenges without dedicated resources, limited budgets, and little margin of error to avoid the risks of bad hires and employee turnover.
We provide our clients with the human capital bandwidth they need to attract, qualify, and deploy talented people into their candidate network, provide "HR in a box" resources to streamline and improve and their recruiting, development, and retention processes, and build human capital dashboards to set meaningful benchmarks and track actions to improve their operating results. We offer self-service, project, and full-service pricing options that include cash and/or equity compensation.
Mergers and acquisitions place the leadership teams and employees of both organizations in transition. Research indicates that 70% of acquisitions do not meet planned expectations due to cultural clashes, so thorough and thoughtful human capital due diligence on the existing culture, leadership team strengths and limitations, and related factors is beneficial for planning the integration process.That's why our services also include leading or participating in human capital due diligence and cultural assessments and integration and leadership team transition skill assessments.
Our recent projects include;
- Planning and implementing effective team integration processes applying the knowledge gained through due diligence
- Coaching the leaders of early-stage companies during their first executive recruitment process
- Managing the integration of a $500 million dollar professional services firm into a Big 4 firm within timeframes, cost, and employee retention targets.
- Integrating a $60 million dollar a year direct competitor into a $300 million dollar technology organization without losing critical staff in the year following the date of acquisition, and performed many human capital due diligence assignments.
- LeadingTalent Review sessions which ranked acquired leadership teams by performance and potential, leading to customized retention/separation strategies and accelerated leadership development opportunities for retained and emerging leaders.
