Turnaround situations can fail if HR management is not taken as a strategic issue to look into. It is more important
than the financial merits of the change process. This is because any change process creates uncertainty amongst people with regard to their future.

The worst thing is to keep people in the dark and expect them to hear about things from the grapevine. For once, over communication is better in any change process.
