During a merger, neurodivergent employees experience a 30% increase in mental-health strain. The recent consolidation of Bridgepoint and Kayne into a single real-estate entity illustrates this effect. The cost manifests in higher absenteeism, reduced productivity, and elevated turnover risk. Quantifying the impact requires baseline metrics for stress and engagement pre-merger and post-merger. Leaders can mitigate the effect by: 1) embedding neurodiversity-aware protocols into the integration plan; 2) maintaining continuity of support services; 3) ensuring transparent communication about role changes; and 4) monitoring key indicators such as sick-leave frequency and performance variance. Proactive measures reduce the hidden cost and preserve the value of the acquisition.
