Write a difficult news memo to a group of employees in response to this scenario: You are supporting a Human Resources Director at Creative Solutions Learning Company, a producer of electronic toys in the education category. Your headquarters and manufacturing plant are located in Spring Valley, Alabama, and all told, the company employs 100 people. Many of your manufacturing employees have degrees in electrical engineering and other technical fields. Over the past three years, company sales have declined by 7%, as your market has become dominated by more competitive products from overseas. At best, your company projects sales to be flat over the next few years. Additionally, your company's payments to provide health care for your employees have gone up by 13% since 2019. Until now, Creative Learning has covered the entire cost of employee health care, but now your company has been forced to ask employees to pay 20% of their insurance premiums. To explain these changes, the Director of HR, Mary Sellers, will hold a Teams virtual meeting with affected employees at 2 p.m. on Thursday, April 12, to discuss the new plan. She will answer any questions, and explain in detail which cost-cutting options, such as choosing a less expensive plan with higher deductibles, will be available, Asking employees to pay for their health care will have a number of benefits. It will help the company manage costs for the foreseeable future, and it will allow the company to avoid staff reductions at the Spring Valley headquarters. Everyone will still be able to keep his or her current level of medical coverage, and co-pays for any treatment will stay the same. Because this is a difficult decision, and you know that your most-talented employees may be tempted to look for work elsewhere, you are convinced that a virtual meeting will ensure that your employees understand the best option for themselves and their families. Your task: To make sure that everyone is aware, you will write a communique for the HR director to send internally to all of the employees, informing them about the upcoming meeting and the plan to reduce the company's contribution to their medical benefits. Requirements: Use a memo block that contains an appropriate subject line, audience, sender, and release date • Keep the message to less than 400 words, single-spaced • Appropriate graphic highlighting is permitted (1.e., bold text, section headings/subheads, bullet points, or a numbered list)
