Let’s be real — restructures suck. They’re messy, stressful, and almost always handled poorly. But do they have to be? In this episode, we roll up our metaphorical comms sleeves and dig into why we keep getting restructures wrong (spoiler alert: it’s not just the org charts), and what communicators can actually do to help make them suck a little less.

From the jargon-laden emails no one wants to read, to leaders ghosting their teams at the worst possible time, we break down the usual chaos and chaos-creators. We offer up smart, human-first strategies to bring clarity, empathy and actual sense to these corporate shake-ups.

Because no, you can’t "comms" your way out of bad leadership — but you can help make the ride less bumpy. So if you’re a comms pro, change wrangler, or just someone who’s survived one too many restructures, hit play. It’s time to change how we talk about change.
