    Low Morale of Employees Due to Merger

    1. Issue
    Since the business marketplace around the globe has been emerging with the changing trends in business
    operations, thus, organizations have realized the importance of making themselves more competitive to
    accomplish their strategic goals. Therefore, organizations are focused to adopting change in structures to
    remain more competitive, productive and successful (Maidell, 2015). Consequently, many mergers have
    been done being a vital element of changing business environment. However, the more important thing is
    the impact of mergers on employees currently associated with such organization as well as the people
    being merged with them. Mergers can be very upsetting for the existing employees causing insecurity,
    uncertainty that affect on their motivation level and morale may get down as discussed by Siegel in his
    article titled “Assessing the Effects of Mergers and Acquisitions on Employee Morale in the year 2010.
    Due to the changing requirements of business transactions and to increase its value effectively, mergers
    are performed so is the case in this research study that merger has been done but employees are not very
    happy because they are feeling less secure, uncertain and their motivation level is not up to the mark
    specifically because of the extended members in their organization. A detailed study has been presented
    in order to avoid unwanted scenarios and keep the employees highly motivated to ensure the successful
    accomplishment of strategic objectives.
    2. Proposed Solution
    When merger occurs, the whole internal environment of the organization fills with confusion and
    ambiguity that results in the decline of employees’ morale. Therefore, certain strategies must be
    implemented in order to keep the employees highly motivated and to avoid any conflict in business
    operations (Croke, 2017). To overcome the barriers in employees thought process during a merger, four
    steps are proposed as a solution for the case under discussion. These steps are: communicate properly to
    the employees so that they may not feel shocked and unwanted. For this purpose, proper meetings must
    be held chaired by the top management in which they should be kept in confidence in terms of their better
    prospects while working with new members. Not only this but focus should be to make employees feel
    more valuable than before by their managers. They must feel themselves as vital asset of the organization.
    Lastly, organization should reveal the fact of merger honestly in front of employees so that they may be
    able to realize the objectives behind this change and may stand with the trends of the firm.
    3. Expected Outcome
    Employees are the vital part of any organization that’s why it is a must for any organization to consider
    their reservations, suggestions, and opinions with more serious approach. However, it is a fact that the
    above discussed strategies to communicate properly, staying honest and real with employees, conducting
    effective meetings, and gaining their trust will aid the organization to announce the big change of merger
    in a subtler way avoiding any of the unwanted scenario (Desrochers, 2018). Consequently, the firm will
    be able to retain its loyal employees with more positive perspective. Moreover, employees will do more
    hard work in order to prove their competitive edge to the organization. Furthermore, competitors also feel
    the pressure because of the merger. Not only this but due to a positive competition among employees, the
    organization will be able to achieve its strategic goals and objectives in more effective manner.
