MEMORANDUM

TO: ALL STAFF MEMBERS

FROM: MANAGER

DATE: MARCH 8, 2023

SUBJECT: A STAFF MEETING

_______________________________________________________

The management has observed that there have been multiple deficits in the area of

ethical behaviors in the work environment. Problems range from lateness to dishonesty

and lack of consideration for the rights of others. This has led to gross underproduction

over the past six (6) months. These issues have become so evident that the Board of

Directors has expressed disapproval. We are in peril and something must be done

urgently. The managing team has sat down and made a decision on a way forward given

the circumstances.

As a result, we have taken the decision to address the issue of ethics and ethical

behaviors in the workplace through a staff development session to be held on March 8,

2023. The meeting will be held in the Orchid Boardroom from 9:00 am -2:00 pm. The

office will be closed for business and attendance is mandatory.

The areas that will be addressed in the staff development session are: Professionalism in

the Workplace, Developing Professional Relationships, Taking Responsibility, Effective

Communication in the Workplace, and Obeying Company Rules and Regulations.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided and our dress code is to be respected.

If you miss the session without a valid reason, THERE WILL BE SERIOUS

CONSEQUENCES! Should you require any clarifications or additional information,

please do not hesitate to contact your immediate supervisors or email us at
