Merge With Caution: Emotional Intelligence in Mergers & Acquisitions

In this month's episode we dive into the heart of payroll mergers and acquisitions with Jennifer Russell, Director of Payroll Governance & Compliance at Pearson Education. With over 35 years in the field, Jennifer joins us to champion the crucial role of emotional intelligence in M&A.

We tackle the pressing questions about preparing for M&A changes, ensuring stakeholder readiness, and the importance of cultural discussions before integrating new co-employees. Other key topics include the importance of payroll representation in decision-making, the utility of an M&A playbook, and the vital role of project management in these processes.
