Retaining Top Talent in M&A: Strategies for Ensuring a Smooth Integration
FEATURING:
Klint Kendrick, HR M&A Roundtable
Brendan McElroy, HR M&A Roundtable
Join Klint and Brendan as they lead us in a discussion on retaining top talent in the M&A world by exploring strategies for ensuring a smooth integration.
In mergers and acquisitions (M&A), retaining top talent is critical to achieving success. In this presentation, we will explore strategies for ensuring a smooth integration by retaining key personnel. We will discuss the importance of creating a positive culture, fostering open communication, and implementing effective leadership practices. We will also examine the use of retention bonuses, career development plans, and flexible work arrangements to keep top talent engaged and motivated. Attendees will gain insights into best practices for retaining top talent during the M&A process and learn how to create a cohesive team that can drive growth and success.
THIS GLOBAL ROUNDTABLE IS OPEN TO ALL HR M&A PRACTITIONERS.
We host global roundtables the 2nd Tuesday of every month.
Klint Kendrick
Chair
HR M&A Roundtable
Klint is Chair of the HR M&A Roundtable and author of The HR Practitioners Guide to Mergers & Acquisitions Due Diligence. He has worked on nearly 100 merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions, representing billions of dollars and affecting thousands of employees.
Long before taking HR M&A leadership roles with several Fortune 500 firms, Klint was part of several acquired companies. One deal was so poorly managed that he resigned and took a million-dollar book of business with him. A few years later, as an HR manager at a different firm, he had to react when panicked employees called him after learning about a deal in their newsfeeds instead of company communications.
