For each SLP question below, select three articles (published within the past five years), each from different peer-reviewed academic journals/magazines. Find articles that specifically address the following:

  1. Mergers & Acquisitions: What main point(s) about merging companies does the author make particularly relating to HRM? Do you agree? Why or why not?
  2. Reduction in Force (RIF): What main point(s) about RIFs does the author make particularly relating to HRM? What steps can HRM take to prepare employees for a possible RIF?

In your 2-page submission (not counting the cover page), create a 2-sided flyer that HR department staff can give to each person laid off due to Mergers & Acquisitions or a Reduction-in-Force. Include both a cover page and reference page for this assignment. These can be a separate document from the flyer. Experiment with using Microsoft Publisher or its equivalent free program found online for the 2-page flyer (a tri-fold flyer might work best for youyou could then put the references on the middle back column). Keeping the seriousness of the topic in mind, use color, but keep the flyer business-like without flamboyance. Be selective and add pictures that reflect your message. If you use a tri-fold template in Word or Publisher, plan your layout first so that once it is folded everything is in the right place.

Written communication is not just about word selection and grammar. It is also about selecting the right information that sends the correct message to the receiver. Keep this in mind as you determine the message you want to send to your employees. Select the appropriate terminology and wording that provides your employees with an adequate amount of information to set them at ease regarding a potential reduction in force, merger, or an acquisition opportunity at your organization.
