Corporate decision-makers must prepare staff members for change to ensure a smooth transition during mergers and acquisitions.
Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) create an air of uncertainty for internal stakeholders. Many employees may wonder what the new work environment will look like, but more importantly, they worry about whether they’ll still have a place at the company once both entities have combined.
Accordingly, effective internal communication is essential for ensuring a smooth transition into the next phase of your company’s operation. By planning structured communication throughout the transition, business leaders can eliminate the everyday distractions that arise during M&As.
