In this edition of Founder’s Q1 2024 Human Capital Management Market Insights, our team provides insights from the marketplace from Q1 of 2024. Last quarter, M&A activity in North America recovered when compared to Q1 2023. The estimated deal value increased by 10% and total deal count remained flat on a year-over-year basis. The Q1 news bodes well for what many anticipate to be a good year in M&A.
