Sample Letter for Directive - Notify Employees of a New Policy or a Change in an Existing One

Subject: Notification of a New Policy — Mandatory Work-from-Home Protocol Dear [Company Name] Team, We hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. As we continue to navigate the ever-changing landscape resulting from the global COVID-19 pandemic, we recognize the need to adapt our policies to ensure the well-being and safety of our valued employees. As such, we are implementing a new policy regarding the mandatory work-from-home protocol effective immediately. In consultation with public health authorities and considering the rising number of reported cases in our community, we have decided to prioritize the health and safety of our employees by enforcing remote work as the default mode of operation until further notice. This directive applies across all departments and positions within the organization. This policy aims to: 1. Limit potential exposure: By minimizing physical contact and practicing social distancing to the maximum extent possible, we can collectively contribute to reducing the risk of infection. 2. Maintain uninterrupted work: Ensuring business continuity is of utmost importance to us. With modern technological resources and tools at our disposal, remote work enables us to carry out our responsibilities effectively and efficiently. 3. Support our staff: We understand that adapting to a new work environment can be challenging. We encourage open communication and are committed to addressing any challenges or concerns you may have during this transition. To facilitate a smooth transition, we have taken the following measures: 1. IT support: Our dedicated IT team is ready to provide technical assistance to ensure a seamless remote working experience. If you encounter any technical issues or require equipment, please contact our help desk at [IT contact details]. 2. Collaborative tools and resources: We have made available a suite of collaborative tools such as video conferencing, instant messaging, and file sharing platforms. Detailed instructions on how to utilize these tools effectively will be shared with everyone shortly. 3. Flexible work arrangements: We understand that balancing work and personal responsibilities can be challenging. We encourage employees who need flexibility within their working hours to discuss their schedule with their manager. Please be aware that the new policy will be subject to continuous evaluation in alignment with the latest recommendations from health experts and local authorities. We will promptly notify you of any changes or developments. We appreciate your understanding, cooperation, and commitment to ensuring the well-being of our entire workforce as we tackle this unprecedented situation together. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to your manager or the HR department. Thank you for your unwavering dedication and resilience as we adapt to these new circumstances. We value each one of you and remain committed to preserving a safe and healthy work environment.
