Mergers and acquisitions can be unsettling for even the most secure and confident employee. And for good reason — many companies may have to reduce their workforces after a merger to avoid redundancy and cut costs, and employees may have to take on additional responsibilities. Communicators play a crucial role in the M&A process, from smoothing over bad news to releasing good news about company growth and, ultimately, helping to build an entirely new culture.
