ScottMadden to Present at the 2012 IEHRA Annual Conference

Oct. 22, 2012 - PRLog -- ScottMadden, Inc., a leading North American energy consulting firm, is pleased to present at the 24th Annual Energy Industry Human Resources Conference (http://iehra.com/conference.html) being held Wednesday, October 24–Friday, October 26 at The Palazzo in Las Vegas, Nevada. This event, hosted by the Independent Energy Human Resources Association (IEHRA), provides a forum for networking and programs focused on current energy HR industry trends, issues, and solutions.

Stu Pearman (http://www.scottmadden.com/bios/29/Stu-Pearman.html), partner and energy practice leader at ScottMadden, and Tina Krebs (http://www.scottmadden.com/bios/43/Tina-Krebs.html), partner and HR practice leader at ScottMadden, will present “Energy Industry M&A: What Is Happening? What Is Driving It? What Is HR’s Role?” This fact-based, interactive presentation will focus on the dual role of HR during a merger or acquisition.

With M&A, HR professionals are not only responsible for participating in the integration of their function, but also for defining the HR policies required to support merger activities and restaff the new organization. This can be a stressful role. As an HR professional, you must manage sensitive information and difficult issues affecting many people—all the while knowing you may not have a job in the new organization. During this presentation, key discussion points will include:

·         The role of HR in a merger or acquisition
·         Options for executing HR's role
·         Keys to success
·         Key tools and techniques
·         Lessons learned by those who have done this work

“We are excited to once again participate in IEHRA’s Annual Conference,” said Mrs. Krebs. “The breadth of topics to be presented at this event makes this one of the top conferences that energy HR professionals should attend during the year.”
