Restructuring & Layoff Communication Toolkit
Communicating with the team that remains — not legal advice, a planning tool for the surviving-team conversation after a workforce reduction.
Communicating with the team that remains — not legal advice, a planning tool for the surviving-team conversation after a workforce reduction.
The instinct after a layoff is to make the individual notifications and quietly move on — but the team that remains fills any silence with a story, and it's rarely a story as accurate as the truth. This toolkit is scoped specifically to that surviving-team communication: a four-part structure for the team announcement (what changed, what didn't, what happens next, and how to ask questions), delivered once HR, Legal, and Corporate Communications have finalized what can be said. Not legal advice, and not a substitute for HR/Legal guidance on notice periods or legal obligations. Pairs with Script 2 in the Difficult Conversation Scripts Pack for the individual notification conversation. Instant digital download.
