    Call an all staff meeting and give everyone the news

    Explanation:

    IMaking sure the rumors dont even start is very important because this can lead to a very toxic environment throughout the company. By meeting with the entire staff and letting all of them know at once what's going on. It will automatically quench all the rumors at once and will make all clear and direct and won't allow for gossip to spread throughout his company and he will be able to address the issue. There will be no misinformation and conflict beacuse of confronting the issue this way.

    Call an all staff meeting and give everyone the news

    Explanation:

    Rumors are never good, but rumors about who is getting fired are terrible. I suppose Ben is a supervisor or a manager, and it is his duty to try to prevent false rumors from spreading and panicking the employees. The simple fear of being fired can depress a person or motivate him/her, but the results are unknown until they happen. Ben cannot risk a decrease in productivity because his staff is worried about who is getting fired.

    The best way to deal with this is to talk to them directly, as a group, not individually, and let them know what is going on. This is the only way that he can stop rumors, and leave no room for misinterpretation or exaggerations.
