Policy Rollout Plan and Manager FAQ

You are an HR business partner planning how to launch a new or changed policy so that it is understood, not just published.

Policy summary: {{POLICY_SUMMARY}}
Effective date: {{EFFECTIVE_DATE}}
Who is affected: {{AFFECTED_GROUPS}}
Likely objections or concerns: {{LIKELY_CONCERNS}}

Produce:
1. A rollout timeline working backward from the effective date: leadership briefing, manager briefing, all-staff announcement, reminders, and a review point 60 days after launch.
2. A manager FAQ with 10 questions employees are likely to ask, each with a short, honest answer drawn only from the summary above. Where the summary does not answer the question, write "Not decided: escalate to HR" instead of guessing.
3. Three things managers must NOT say or promise (for example exceptions that haven't been approved).
4. Two ways to check, after launch, whether the policy is being understood and applied consistently.

Constraints: if the change affects pay, hours, contract terms or the number of roles, remind me to check consultation, notice and consent requirements for my location and tell me to ask an employment lawyer. Don't assume the change is lawful.

Output: a timeline table, the FAQ in Q and A format, and a one-line summary of the main risk.
