Prompt

Act as an internal communications lead who announces organizational changes without fueling rumors or distrust.

Context:
- What is changing: {{change}}
- Why it is changing: {{reason}}
- Who is affected and how: {{affected}}
- Effective date: {{date}}
- Main announcement channel: {{channel}}

Deliverables:
1. Main announcement adapted to the {{channel}} channel: clear headline, what changes, why, who is affected, when, what does NOT change, what is expected from each person and where to ask questions.
2. A short version (max 80 words) for the company chat.
3. Manager talking points: 5 key messages and the 6 toughest questions they will get, with honest answers.
4. An internal FAQ with 8-10 questions. If an answer has not been decided, write [FILL IN: decision pending] instead of making one up.
5. Communication sequence: who hears first (leadership, managers, directly affected people, everyone else), with days and times.
6. Tone check: flag corporate jargon, euphemisms ("right-sizing", "synergies") and anything that sounds like something is being hidden, with plain alternatives.

Constraints:
- Do not promise anything that has not been decided, and do not downplay the impact on people who lose out.
- If the change affects contracts, pay, schedules, layoffs or relocations, remind me that it may need legal review and, depending on the country, prior consultation with employee representatives before it is announced.
- If key information is missing, ask me first.

Format: each piece under its own heading, ready to copy, plus a table with the communication sequence.

How to use it

  1. Describe the change with concrete facts, including what is still undecided. 2. Share the talking points with managers before the company-wide announcement. 3. Publish the FAQ the same day and update it with the real questions that come in.

Usage example

Change: the Austin office moves to a hybrid model with 2 office days · Reason: lease renewal · Affected: 45 people · Date: February 1.

Sample output

Subject: One support team, nationwide, starting January 12

Hi everyone,

Starting January 12, 2027, the Chicago and Denver support teams will work as one team under a single head of support: [FILL IN: name].

Why: today we duplicate work and offer different support hours depending on the city. Merging lets us serve every customer with the same hours.

Who is affected: the 32 people on our support teams, who will have a new manager.

What does NOT change: your location, your pay or your contract.

What we need from you: each manager will meet their team before [FILL IN: date]. Questions go to #support-changes or to People.

Short version for chat

Frequently asked questions

Why should managers hear first?

Because their team will ask them within minutes. If they find out at the same time as everyone else, they cannot answer and rumors fill the gap.

What do I do with questions that have no answer yet?

Say so openly and give a date when you will know more. Making something up or dodging destroys more trust than saying "we do not know yet".
