Description
Due diligence is crucial in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) deals. Nowadays, failure to properly address how diversity and inclusion (D&I) issues can have a detrimental impact on dealmaking. Are pay equity issues and D&I topics board-level responsibility? D&I is key to successful post-transaction employee integration and, ultimately, employee retention and engagement.
