Memo
To: Supervisory Staff
From: Your name
Date: January 26, 2010
Subject: Management Behavior
As you are aware, our company is about to merge with EnviroTech, however, you might not be aware of how your behavior during this transitional time affects employee morale and productivity. This memo will outline the importance of the behavior exhibited by management. It will address the following key areas:
How a manager’s behavior can affect the productivity of their staff.
What types of management actions align with employment laws and those that do not.
What are the best practices for working within a diverse work environment.
Pursuant to Stephen J. Dorgan, “new research now confirms the notion that management matters to all companies, including top performers. While this finding is hardly a surprise, what is startling is just how much the decisions of managers matter. Managers are more important than the industry sector in which a company competes, the regulated environment that constrains it, or the country where it operates.” In other words, managers have a direct impact on their employees, which can affect overall productivity in the workplace.
Therefore, as managers it is your responsibility to create a positive work environment during this time period as it has been brought to my attention that several employees have been discussing their future with InterClean after the merger is complete. Several employees are lacking the motivation needed to be productive due to their fears of being laid off.
I can relate to the stress everyone is feeling due to the unknown. At my previous employer, every September I anxiously awaited for the new years budget to be approved. If it was not approved, there was the potential for our department to shut down until a budget was passed. Everyone would always talk about the possibility of losing his
