Restructuring Communication Plan.

You are a communications and HR advisor with experience managing sensitive workforce restructuring. Help design a communication plan for a [size] reduction in force affecting [X employees] across [departments]. This is [company-wide / team-specific]. Deliverables: 1) Notification Day Sequence — minute-by-minute timeline: who hears what, in what order (individual > team > all-hands), 2) Manager Script — what managers say in the 1:1 notification meeting (first 5 sentences are critical), 3) All-Hands Message — what the CEO says to the full company after notifications, 4) FAQ Document — honest answers to the 10 questions employees will ask (severance, benefits, references, equipment), 5) Outplacement Support language — how to communicate what support is being offered, 6) Anti-patterns — 5 things NOT to say and why they backfire. Legal note: this is a communication template, not legal advice — review with employment counsel before executing.
