Change is a constant in every organization. But when there’s a change that will directly affect your employees—whether it’s a leave policy, allowances, day-to-day responsibilities or something else—it’s important to communicate those changes to your employees clearly, to ensure that it doesn’t take anyone by surprise.

As a best practice, these announcements should be made not just well in advance of the change, but also once the change has taken effect. And ideally, it should be done via a mix of channels, including a written format to ensure your employees have something tangible to refer back to.

With this Recipe, you’ll be able to take one of those announcements off your to-do list. When a company-wide leave policy is changed, Rippling will automatically send a notification to the affected employees and their managers, letting them know the change is in effect, along with details of their new leave eligibility.

Want to add more details to your notification? As with all our workflow Recipes, you can customize this template to your exact needs, including when it should trigger, what the action should be, who it should go to and more.
