Write an email about a pending lawsuit against the company.
Imagine that you're the CEO of a chain of retail stores. Last week, you received notifi - cation of a lawsuit against your company. An employee who was terminated for poor performance last month is suing for wrongful discharge, claiming sex discrimination. You had hoped to keep this quiet, but you saw a report on the local news this morning about the suit.

You need employees to hear from you directly-to reassure them and to explain your side of the story.
