Tiivistelmä
This thesis is intended for employees, HR professionals, directors, or anyone working in a European company that is currently undergoing or will undergo a merger or acquisition with another company.
As an impact that affects a broad internal spectrum of a company, the various processes related to mergers and acquisitions must be defined and understood by all to have a positive impact. Due to the regulations and laws of each country, these internal changes must be taken very seriously for the well-being of employees, corporate culture, and growth.
The main goal of this paper was to develop a foundation and guidelines for companies and individuals responsible for change within a company to integrate the changes resulting from a merger or acquisition as effectively as possible while incorporating more responsible and sustainable environmental actions. The research for this final thesis was conducted in collaboration with various European companies such as Dedalus Healthcare, Premetec France among others, and consisted of investigating the requirements that a European company needs to successfully carry out a merger and acquisition, such as communication methods and social plans implemented. The scope of the process has been limited to central European companies, within which our example companies were listed.
Future changes in statutory requirements for sustainable management processes regulation will require continuous research, and therefore, this paper can never be considered absolutely complete. At the time of the research, legislative regulations were found on European Lawyer and other government websites and were considered sufficient for the objectives of this thesis project. It is recommended to stay updated with legal news for European companies to ensure the best possible performance.
This thesis includes translations from French to English to provide insights from French employees and directors. If chapters contain translations, it is mentioned in the text and appendix.
