Background
PwC South Africa’s Business Transformation team supported a beverage manufacturer in South Africa in executing their people transition strategy and implementing their operating model to integrate a new acquisition into their core business.
How we delivered
We supported the client with the transformation across 11 functions, benefits harmonisation, salary package transition, HR systems integration, payroll migration, and the S189 process for employees that competed for roles and union engagements. Sixteen months of work resulted in the people’s transition and system integration being completed in 2.5 months — one of the quickest and most seamless integrations of this size and complexity in South Africa. During this period, all employees were transitioned onto the new payroll in line with the new pay structures and employee benefits.
Sustained outcomes
Working alongside the client, we changed their way of operating to a more focused and centralised approach, creating an optimal structure aligned to their growth strategy. We are proud to support our client’s ambition to expand their portfolio and combine two successful businesses, and the impact that this will have on customer experience, routes to market and the client’s talent pool.
