    What are some incentives and recognition programs that you have used or seen in other mergers or acquisitions?

    Hi Angela

    I think that retaining the best of both cultures is important to create a new culture that appeals to key talent. Involving the leaders and key talent in the merger processes can also provide motivation to stay.

    Hi @angela middleton,

    The following are some of the most common incentives I've seen/proposed on M&A and organizational realignment projects to support a smoother transition and integration:

    Retaining Employees for M&A

    ·         * Performance Based Retention Bonus Program - (by integration phase)

    ·         * New role (within new organizational structure) identified and communicated to the employee in advance in return for their role in M&A integration efforts, or

    ·         * Current role (within new organizational structure) retained and communicated to the employee in advance in return for their role in M&A integration efforts

    Employees Who Will Transition Externally Post-M&A Completion

    ·         * Performance Based Retention Bonus Program - (by integration phase) in exchange for support with cross-training, etc.

    ·         * Competitive Severance Package

    ·         * Employee Assistance Program

    ·        * Letter of Recommendation from Employer

    ·         * Eligibility to be rehired into the new company structure if needed

    I hope this helps!

    Hi Gloria.

    These are excellent incentives in both instances. I'd like to hear about organizations who've actually employed these incentives. It would help with employee retention and minimize talent loss.
