Question

Ben learns that the company was going to be laying off several employees over the next several months. He knew that the rumor mill was going to start, and he wanted to head off misinformation and get ahead of the curve. Which of the following options should he take?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Call an all staff meeting and give everyone the news at once.

Explanation:

Instead of letting the rumors spread throughout the company, what Ben is supposed to do is have a meeting with his entire staff and let all of them know at once what's going on. This way, he will be clear and direct and won't allow for gossip to spread throughout his company and he himself will address the issue head-on. This way he won't leave room for misinterpretation as he will explain what is going to happen.
