Memo Assignment

You have witnessed several employees drinking alcohol on the job during lunch hours. Additionally, you have been notified by CEO Janice Davis that some employees have been inebriated when attending mandatory staff meetings and workshops. While what an employee does on his or her break is not officially company business, the effects of such drinking has a decided effect on the performance of an employees in the workplace.

Your Task: Write a memo to employees outlining the new zero tolerance alcohol policy. 

Reminders:

All memos should:

· be one page in length. 

· have visual appeal. 

· include all relevant information for the user to make an informed decision. 

· appeal to audience’s expectations, attitudes, and technical background. 

· contain action steps and a recommendation. 

· be submitted in class and uploaded into Blackboard by due dates. 

Notes:

1. Review      the information presented in Chapter 14 as well as your notes to help you      compose your memorandum. 
2. Use      the textbook as a guide not as a “template.” The sample memo      provided on p.373 fits that particular scenario and not necessarily this      assignment. Memos that copy textbook samples      (to include language and style) or use templates will receive a zero!
