Total rewards and benefits integration: Building a framework that works from Day 1
|For employees on both sides of a deal, benefits and total rewards are among the most tangible, immediate and personal dimensions of the transition. Getting this right isn't just a compliance requirement — it's a material factor in whether employees feel valued and secure in the new entity from their first day.
In this closing session of WTW's Divestitures in a box: The people side of the deal series, we bring together WTW's total rewards and benefits practitioners to address the practical realities of designing, transitioning and standing up a total rewards framework under deal timelines and constraints.
Our session will cover:
- Benefits transition planning: How to maintain coverage continuity for employees during the gap between legacy and standalone benefits
- Designing competitive and compliant benefits programs for newly standalone or acquired entities, including solutions for small and mid-sized headcount populations
- Master trust and pooling solutions for organizations managing pension and benefits obligations across low-headcount jurisdictions
- PEO, EOR and small employee population benefit solutions: How to efficiently manage benefits for employees in markets where a standalone presence isn't viable
- Delegated investment solutions and how they apply to transitioning pension obligations
- Aligning total rewards strategy with the new entity's employer brand and talent positioning
- Benchmarking compensation and benefits structures for the new entity using WTW's market data
We'll close the series with a look ahead: What organizations that have navigated the transaction well are doing next — and how to build a total rewards function that's ready for the next deal.
Who should attend: Total rewards leaders, benefits managers, finance and operations leaders and HR professionals responsible for compensation and benefits design in M&A transactions.
