The Roster & Staffing Communication

Draft communication about a staffing or roster change.

The change: [DESCRIBE]
Reason: [DESCRIBE]
Who is affected: [DESCRIBE]
What is negotiable and what is not: [DESCRIBE]

Produce:
1. A team-wide message: what is changing, when, and why
2. A section on what this means practically for each affected group
3. Acknowledgement of the genuine downsides — do not pretend there
   are none
4. What has already been considered and rejected, and why
5. How to raise concerns and what will happen to them
6. Talking points for managers being asked about it in corridors
7. An FAQ covering the six questions people will actually ask

Tone: direct and respectful. Healthcare staff can tell when they
are being managed, and it damages trust more than the change does.
