Communicate to employees quickly, transparently and often about their personal situation – when they will receive an offer, new reporting structure, what they can expect following the close, orientation with new management and most importantly the rationale for the transaction – why it’s a “good” thing – and how they are a valued contributor to execute strategy/vision. It’s also helpful to enlist their key employees that were supportive of the deal to address concerns and act as “cheerleader” to support the strategy.
