From the Paper:

"(3) Assessing employee opinion on the M&A and discussing issues of effective leadership and measuring of employee production and morale after the M&A are important to weighing the benefit of the M&A. For an organization facing an M&A, they can look at past M&As to assess strengths and weaknesses. This will allow that bank to adjust the strategy and aid in handling problems that will arise. This will be done through looking at surveys of employee and their reactions to M&As. Such statistics will include ratios looking at how their morale survived the M&A and also how many employees stayed or quit."
