FREE Acquisition Letter Templates & Examples

Acquiring a company or even a simple merger takes years to complete, according to Investopedia. The shortest time for a merger to complete is six months. 
 

A new company is formed when two companies decide to merge. Employees from either two companies welcome each other and start to work together. 

There are always big changes that come with company mergers. If your company merges with another one, they can lay off employees who perform the same job. This is one of the ways to reduce company expenses. There's also a big chance that the remaining employees may get a new boss. Tasks may be minimized or added depending on the new workflow and processes. 
 

These are some of the things that you can do when announcing a merger:

1. Communicate to your employees
2. Remind them of how important they are
3. Keep them focused
4. Expect big changes and a shift in management
5. Be honest in giving the reason for the merger
 

When one company acquires another, productivity increases while the expenses decrease. It's good for the new company and its employees.
