HR’s role in M&A (and Talent Management) 
The use of a Cultural Assessment 
Staffing and the Preliminary Integration Plan 
Available Talent and Pre-Close Activities 
Post-Close Integration
HR’s role in any merger or acquisition is to partner with Business Development to evaluate the human capital part of the business deal: 
 
The associated dollar costs 
 
Cultural issues 
 
Identified risks 
 
Integration issues 
 
The talent and talent gaps 
 
Defensive Talent Management 
 
The 90 Day Pre-Close Plan 
 
Integration Post-Close
 
Team lead – Usually an experienced generalist 
 
Benefits 
 
Compensation 
 
Talent Management 
 
HRIS 
 
Payroll 
 
Employment attorney 
 
External consultants, which could include: 
◦ 
Older worker analysis (generally a law firm) 
◦ 
ERISA benefit plans specialists 
◦ 
Organized Labor specialist 
◦ 
Outplacement
 
Work with HR Team Lead to apply cultural assessments & recommend integration strategies 
 
Identify Key Talent in the acquired company 
 
Defensive Talent Management 
 
Manage the Available Talent List 
 
Manage Outplacement: 
◦ 
Manage Outplacement Vendor 
◦ 
Internal and external job fairs 
◦ 
Manage Transitional talent and other temporary talent needs 
 
Manage the severance process 
 
Onboarding
 
A Cultural Similarities Assessment is useful in determining the “fit” between the companies and the direction of integration plans. Areas of assessment might include: 
◦ 
Compensation 
◦ 
Performance Management 
◦ 
Benefits 
◦ 
Company Perks 
◦ 
Communications 
◦ 
Work-Life Balance 
◦ 
Ethics & Rules of Conduct 
◦ 
Organizational Structure 
 
It is never too early to work on Integration!
 
Routinely look at positions and people in both companies for the best to move the new organization forward 
 
Identify Key Talent in both companies and make an expression of interest 
 
Utilize Key Talent to develop the post close organization and which employees will fill RFT positions in the go-forward organization 
 
Select Transitional Employees 
 
Identify employees to receive severance 
 
Develop Available Talent List (Transitional and Severed employees) 
 
Develop the OWBPA list
The Available Talent List consists of those employees that will be terminated at close or at the end of their transitional assignment. 
 
If a large layoff is anticipated, consider allowing employees to self select layoff 
 
Once the AT list is developed, communicate in order to place internally 
 
Use the AT list for internal and external job fairs 
 
For those that are not placed, the Available Talent List becomes the working outplacement list
 
Talent Management supports the process that determines the number and business reasons to keep surplus employees beyond the close and attempt to place within the Company 
 
Develop incentive packages for Transitional Employees that cannot be placed: 
◦ 
Preserve any severance rights 
◦ 
Completion Bonuses 
◦ 
Determine now the conditions under which a Transitional Employee could have early release 
◦ 
Use the offer letter process to document the Transitional offer and the employee’s acceptance of the conditions
 
Outplacement – Will you use Internal or External resources, or a combination? 
◦ 
If external, one vendor or two? 
◦ 
All together or separate executive from others? 
 
Continue to manage Transitional Talent 
◦ 
Transitional Talent may be needed to wind down a project but should be evaluated for future placement until they are actually severed 
 
Phased Exits – If the companies agree, phased Exits (terminations) before close prevents masses of people walking out at the same time 
 
Start the Severance Process
 
Close out the severance process 
 
Continue outplacement 
 
Manage the Available Talent List with the remaining Transitional Employees 
 
Utilize the On-Boarding process for integrating those being merged into the dominant culture 
 
Reinforce good management practices via training: 
◦ 
CBTs 
◦ 
Short training sessions that overview a manager’s role in performance management, payroll/timekeeping, etc.
