Leader Speaking Notes – Team Notification:  Date TBD

Purpose:  To deliver appropriate and consistent follow-up with teams across the organization on recent team member reduction.

Host:  Notifying Leader for Division/Department

What:  Department/Team Meeting (post impact discussions)

Vehicle:  In-Person or Video Conference

Length:  30 Minutes

Thank you for meeting with us today. I wanted to bring this team together to discuss changes affecting our business and the team.

Recent months have yielded slow growth and increased costs across the organization.

We’ve had to evaluate how this impacts us as a business and make some difficult decisions regarding some team members.

Your employment was not impacted by this decision.

However, we did notify some team members earlier that today would be their last day with TheKey.

We greatly appreciate everything those who were impacted have done for our company.

I felt it was important that you hear this information directly from me and I assure you that this was not an easy decision.

[If it is asked whether or not we will be experiencing further reductions in the future, this answer can be used]

Although none of you are affected by reductions today, we are always carefully watching the performance of the business, evaluating our needs, and flexing with the demands of our clients and the market overall.

I can appreciate this is difficult news and am available to speak with anyone privately who would like to discuss this further.

Are there any questions that I can answer for you?

Division/Department Leader
