How you talk to employees about a deal can make the difference between success and failure.
At WTW, we can help you develop clear and compelling communications that engage and motivate people, from first announcement to post-deal integration.
How we can help you gain advantage
We will help you develop holistic communications, looking at everything from the language you use to describe the deal to channels, formats and the timing of communications. We can help you:
- Send the right messages, in the right way, at the right time
- Explain the importance of the transaction to employees to help motivate them to support your strategic direction and goals
- Create a positive vision of the employee experience as a result of your deal
- Manage change and minimize disruption by clearly explaining the reasons behind your decisions
- Keep the workforce focused on their regular work
