The press release announcing any new mergeror acquisition is always quick to announce thebenefit to the consumer first, the stockholder
maybe second, and the principals (CEOs,investment bankers, lawyers ) and employeesnever.
For employees such announcement mean lossof job , profile , humiliation or disregard butthere can be a different and better way ofhandling this issue as human being haveemotions.

Reasons for Wishing away HR
aspects Emphasis is more on the other functions such as finance
, infrastructure technology etc. The hypothesis that the human issue is more sensitive
but will settle in due course after initial resistance The ignorance of the fact or taking for granted that the
people related issues are less critical The absence of proper representation to give voice to the
people related view in M & A team Recognition of human resource issue as one of the
indicators for the success or failure of any M & A process
is therefore imperative The importance of this factor is not limited to any stage in
the M & A process but is omnipresent in each of thisstage
