How to Use This Template
Lead with the news
Put the key announcement in the first sentence. Do not bury it under preamble or context. People should know the headline immediately.
Provide context
Explain why this is happening and what it means for the company. Employees need the "why" to process the "what."
Spell out what changes
List specific changes that affect employees. Be concrete: new reporting lines, updated policies, revised timelines.
Close with next steps
Tell employees where to ask questions, when to expect more details, and what (if anything) they need to do.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should a company announcement include?
A strong company announcement includes a clear subject line, the key news in the first sentence, context on why it matters, details on what changes, who is affected, a timeline, and next steps. End with who to contact for questions. This template covers all these elements.
How do I announce a leadership change?
Lead with the news: who is joining, departing, or changing roles. Follow with their background and the reason for the change. Acknowledge the outgoing person's contributions if applicable. Close with what this means for the team and how to welcome or support the transition.
Should company announcements be formal or casual?
Match the tone to the news. Policy changes and leadership moves warrant a professional tone. Product launches and team milestones can be more celebratory. Regardless of tone, be clear, concise, and direct. Ambiguity causes more anxiety than the news itself.
