Here's a sample announcement from Exxon's communication team, which can help inform your writing structure, it's close to our writing style:/nDealing with a crisis Background: You are part of Exxon Mobil's finance team. Given your good work on previous projects, the Chief Communications Officer requested that you help the company in rebuilding its brand by focusing on its employees around the globe. (Hint: the audience the employees). Earlier this week, it came to the Chief Communications Officer's attention that the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and other news outlets published a series of stories alleging that the company concealed climate change issues. Now, the negative press is affecting the company's overall reputation. Here's an example of one of the newscasts for background: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5g1nPfXOIA Following this news, it was further acknowledged that current employees are incredibly unhappy because not only did they learn that the company lied, and concealed climate change issues, but now a lot of employees have to suffer the consequences, such as job cuts, around the globe. Employees recently voiced their concerns saying that they have not heard from the company's senior leaders who were once respected, and trusted. Some employees who have worked at the company for 35-40 years were laid off too because of the blow to Exxon's reputation. The problem is, your current employees are scared and nervous, they are starting to apply for other positions outside of the company as they think Exxon's finances have been impacted by the negative news. Nervousness is contagious and you need to calm your current employee base by letting them know that you have a plan in place—and initiatives to help the company address climate change issues.
