though almost all the points are covered above, but let me try to sum up with some additional pointers -
Prior Merger/Acquisition
1. Understanding the People Policies & Processes (Identifying the difference)
2. Understanding the Compensation & Benefits and working out the differences in terms of the loss after merger or acquisition.
3. Understanding the current hierarchy and band/level and mapping the same with your company.
3. Understanding the work culture and engagement initaitives
Post Merger
1. Facilitating one time payout for the difference amount to curb the loss
2. Aligning people processes and policies to integrate through a gradual process
3. Integrating Compensation, Band, Designation and in case of salary correction, revised comp. letters to be issued.
4. Organising frequent town halls, all hands meeting to assimilate the employees of the merged/captive company in a settled way.
5. Adopt a strategy whcih is open and transparent to win the confidence of people of the captive.
thanks.
