Internal Merger Communication
Uniting Employees In Your Brave New World


Mergers are one of the biggest changes an organization can undergo. Integrating cultures, values, expectations and staff is a big challenge for management – and for employee communication.
In every merger, confusion, uncertainty, fear and resistance amongst staff can impact productivity and customer service.

Effective communication plays a critical role in minimizing the impact and reassuring employees. To be successful, an internal communications strategy must be at the core of the merger – as well as tools to guarantee employee engagement at this volatile time.
Reduce uncertainty
Use video alerts to get senior leaders in front of staff to explain decisions, answer questions and manage concerns, especially when face-to-face communication isn’t possible.
Track attitudes
Measure staff attitudes and perceptions through surveys to understand how well they understand the merger and how it affects their role, plus invite feedback on areas they’d like clarification on.
Manage transitions
Publish weekly newsletters with progress updates on the merger to reassure staff. Encourage staff to submit articles in an appropriate section to encourage thinking, acting and working as one organization.
Support wellbeing
Promote wellness tips and employee support programs to help counter stress via screensavers and dedicated training sessions.
