WTW's recent survey highlights a mixed outlook for M&A activity in 2025. Despite a slow start to the year, 54% of respondents anticipate an increase in deal activity as markets stabilize. However, 65% of HR teams feel unprepared to manage their deal portfolios, citing challenges such as data completeness and quality as top concerns. The survey also underscores the importance of identifying key talent below the executive level, with 78% of respondents prioritizing this in their due diligence processes. Additionally, 65% of respondents believe that generative AI will impact the deal-making process within the next two years, although most are adopting a "wait and see" approach rather than being early adopters.

Jim Plomer, Senior Director of Integrated Global Solutions – M&A at WTW, emphasized the need for HR involvement from the outset of M&A discussions. He noted that proactive assessment of people-related challenges and opportunities is crucial for enhancing deal value and easing integration. The survey also revealed that resource constraints are rising faster than culture and technology challenges, with aligning cultures remaining the top overall challenge for 74% of non-US and 54% of US companies. The use of virtual data rooms (VDRs) has advanced the means for sellers to post their digital data, but they do not resolve fundamental data integrity issues and can overwhelm buyers with excessive data, complicating the HR due diligence process.
