We Merged…Now What?
Earlier this month, your company, a running equipment designer and
manufacturer called Runners Paradise, merged with a smaller
clothing design company called ActiveLeak. Your company initiated
the buyout because of the excellent design team at ActiveLeak and
their brand recognition, specifically for their MP3-integrated running
shorts. Runners Paradise has thirty-five employees and ActiveLeak
has ten employees. At ActiveLeak, the owner, who often was too busy
doing other tasks, handled the HRM roles. As a result, ActiveLeak has
no strategic plan, and you are wondering if you should develop a
strategic plan, given this change. Here are the things you have
accomplished so far:
• Reviewed compensation and adjusted salaries for the sake of
fairness. Communicated this to all affected employees.
• Developed job requirements for current and new jobs.
• Had each old and new employee fill out a skills inventory Excel
document, which has been merged into a database.
From this point, you are not sure what to do to fully integrate the new
organization.
