Communication Channels  
☑️ Create a company wide email from ‘the Leader’ of the business, if comfortable create a video offering personal antidotes 
-- If you have been People led first, encourage collaboration between ‘the Leader’ and the People leader 

☑️ Be clear who to talk to for said issues or having conversations. Have clear guidance for who to discuss what with at department level. 

☑️ If you are an international business, be clear if this is an international rule, national or local level guidance. People and HR should be included from the beginning and have a presence through communication. 

☑️ Arrange company wide question and answer sessions. Ensure you record and share company wide 

☑️ Set up weekly ask me anything sessions to encourage open and transparent communications 

☑️ If ‘Leaders’ are at home or across different time zones make this work for the many not the few

☑️ Create opt out communication channels, Teams, Slack, Wiki’s etc.
-- Opt out is important as this will reduce anxiety and notification fatigue. Enable focus in this time 

☑️ Create a single email that all employees can email and notify of sickness and keep track centrally.
