Your boss is Yasmin, Chief of Administration, and you are her assistant. You both work for a small, local company with a production facility and on-site office staff.

Scenario – Your boss is Yasmin, Chief of Administration, and you are her assistant. You both work for a small, local company with a production facility and on-site office staff.

Yasmin met with you recently to inform you that the executive team has decided to update the expense management system. Yasmin feels that, while the new system will make workflows more efficient, the transition period may be challenging as systems will change, and there may be issues with processing times while the critical systems are updated. She has asked you to email all managers informing them of this change. They will need to know the timeline for the transition (Oct 5-8) and to whom they can speak if they are experiencing any operational challenges during the transition (IT for technical issues, finance and administration for process issues).

Create an email that will give the staff the necessary details and encourage them to participate willingly.
