Reorganizations
Guidelines
Inform readers of the primary focus of the reorganizational effort. Highlight specific divisions, departments, or positions created or eliminated. Of course, with this subject, the message and the action become one.
Explain any follow-up action that may be expected from your reader or any action from higher-ups that will affect your reader.
Give the “why” or theory behind the restructuring. That information gives all employees a foundational basis for rethinking their own objectives and makes later directives from new supervisors more understandable and authoritative.
Include a diagram, chart, or summary to help employees visualize the restructured chain of command. Be sure this visual aid explains how the newly organized positions, divisions, or departments relate to all employees on your distribution list.
Be tactful if the reorganization is to correct an existing personnel problem and/or eliminate positions.
