If so, I'd really appreciate knowing:
- What is the intended outcome?
- What content is covered?
- Who is the intended audience?
I've typically scheduled two separate sessions for new acquisitions on change management. The first is given to all acquired employees. The intended outcome is to:
- Validate the feelings they may have about the acquisition; show empathy
- Explain that their colleagues may have very different feelings and to be sensitive to this
- How to address the feelings they may be having
The second is given to managers from the acquisition to give them:
- Some change management theory to understand what they and their employees are going through
- Tools they can use on themselves and provide to their employees who may be resistant to changes introduced by being acquired
