Every year, thousands of mergers and acquisitions-- totaling trillions of dollars—take place worldwide. Though financial benefits are expected from these deals, research shows that roughly 2/3rds of M&A’s fail to live up to the expectations set for them. This DVD tells the story of a merger that did succeed: Bupa Australia, now the nation’s largest privately managed health-insurance group. Once a deal is done, no task is more important than managing people effectively in the newly created firm. This video highlights Bupa’s innovative and people-centric approach to the merger, and it identifies steps that all companies should take to ensure merger success. The Australian Human Resources Institute recognized Bupa with a national award as the firm that best exemplifies responsible restructuring.
This DVD was sponsored by Bupa and the Australian Human Resources Institute (AHRI).
