The International Office Closure Briefing

Recommended Spoken Script
"Due to a strategic consolidation of our European operations, we are closing our London branch office effective August 31st. This decision is purely structural and is in no way a reflection of your hard work. We are providing comprehensive severance packages exceeding local statutory minimums, alongside 3 months of executive outplacement coaching."
