52. Friday, September 07, 2012 You may have heard about the Foundation/Towers Perrin research/book:Making Mergers Work: The Strategic Importance of People . This book was published as a result of a Foundation-funded research project on the role of HR in mergers and acquisitions. A large number of M&A’s fail- often due to ‘people’ issues such as culture clashes or loss of key talent. The definitive finding in the Foundation’s research was that companies that involved their HR leaders early in the M&A process were more likely to have a successful merger than those that didn’t. This is clear empirical evidence of the importance of HR. The book provides a practical roadmap on how HR can add value at every stage of the M&A process. It has received terrific reviews, even from outside the profession. For example, the influential Financial Executive magazine (for CFO’s) calls it “meaty, deep, and probing- a valuable addition to the M&A literature”. At some point, many of you will probably be involved in a merger or acquisition, if you haven’t been already. When you are, be sure to get a copy of this book. It will help you add value throughout the process.You may have heard about the Foundation/Towers Perrin research/book:Making Mergers Work: The Strategic Importance of People .

53. Friday, September 07, 2012 HR Academic Program Directories Two online directories Masters degree programs Undergraduate HR programs Free access for SHRM members Another project that the Foundation pioneered is creating the first-ever comprehensive guide to masters degree programs in HR and related fields.

The SHRM Foundation stepped in to fill this need The first edition, profiling 79 programs, was published in 2000. The second edition was published in 2002 and contained 114 masters degree programs. In 2003, it was converted to an online product so it could be continuously updated. The directory is now a searchable online database. It is available FREE to SHRM members at www.shrm.org/foundation/directory. In 2004, the Foundation compiled a similar directory of undergraduate programs in HR. This online directory now profiles more than 260 degree programs and is open to the general public. The directories may be accessed from the SHRM Foundation website at www.shrm.org/foundation.
