Assess the people impact of a reorganization
Maps a planned reorg's impact on roles and people, flags HR risks, and builds a people transition plan.
The prompt
Help me assess the people impact of a planned reorganization I'm supporting.
Current structure: [teams, roles, reporting lines, headcount]
Proposed structure: [NEW org design]
Reason for the change: [BUSINESS RATIONALE]
Timeline: [ANNOUNCEMENT and effective dates]
Locations and employee groups: [countries/states, unions or works councils if any]
Analyze:
1. Role mapping - table of each current role: unchanged / changed scope / new manager / new role / eliminated. Flag where the new role is materially different (may require selection rather than slotting).
2. Selection approach for new or reduced roles - criteria and a fair process.
3. Pay and level impacts - changes in scope that may trigger regrading or create pay inconsistencies.
4. Legal and process checks - consultation requirements, notice, contract changes [CONFIRM LOCAL LAW].
5. People risks - key talent flight risk, managers losing reports, spans of control too wide or narrow, gaps in critical skills.
6. Change and communication plan - sequence (who hears first), manager briefings, 1:1s for directly impacted people, team messages, and follow-up.
7. 30/60/90-day stabilization plan - check-ins, early warning signs, engagement pulse.
Flag decisions leadership still needs to make and do not assume details I haven't provided.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
