You Work For North Texas Financial Services A

You work for North Texas Financial Services, a company that offers an extremely generous tuition plan for employees. The company pays 100% of college tuition for the children of all employees who have worked at the company for more than five years. This benefit can be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for employees with multiple children. The CEO of NTFS explains why the company has been so generous: "If we can take away the worry of paying for college, employees will concentrate more and be more productive. We value our employees, and this is a great way to keep them." Because of the difficulties in the financial market, NTFS has decided to phase out this benefit over a period of five years.

This news will disappoint and anger many people who have been staying at the company in order to receive this benefit. Your job is to share this news with the staff. Use the ACE process to analyze and compose a message. Because you do not have an actual audience available, imagine yourself as an employee of North Texas Financial Services who has three children to put through college.

Subject: Important Update Regarding Tuition Benefit

Dear Colleagues,

As an employee of North Texas Financial Services, I want to share some important news regarding our company’s tuition assistance program. For many years, our company has generously supported employees by paying 100% of college tuition for employees’ children after five years of service. This benefit has been instrumental in helping many of us, including myself, provide educational opportunities for our children and reduce financial stress.

Recently, due to fluctuating financial markets and economic challenges, the leadership team has made the difficult decision to phase out this tuition assistance benefit over the next five years. This change aligns with broader financial strategies aimed at ensuring the company's long-term stability and sustainability. While we understand that this news may be disappointing, especially for those of us who have counted on this benefit, it is important to recognize the rationale behind this decision.

I myself am a parent of three children pursuing college education. Like many of you, I have relied on this benefit to help make this stage of life possible. The phased approach provides us time to plan and adjust our financial strategies accordingly. Although this change is impactful, I remain optimistic that the company’s ongoing commitment to our growth and success will continue through other avenues such as professional development and recognition of our efforts.

I encourage everyone to reach out with questions or concerns and to support each other through this transition. Together, we can navigate these changes while maintaining the strong, dedicated workforce that makes North Texas Financial Services a great place to work.

Thank you for your understanding and continued dedication.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

Employee, North Texas Financial Services
