Chapter 9 --INFORMATIONAL MEMO REPORT (3-4 pages)

Infor example on the page 2

Informational Reports (see textbook, page 251) present data without analysis or persuasion and are primarily informational. For such reports, writers collect and organize facts, but they do not analyze the facts for readers. In other words, leave your opinion out of it.

A trip report describing an employee’s visit to a trade show, for example,

presents information. Other reports that present information without analysis

could be police reports, hospital admittance reports, monthly sales reports, or

government regulatory reports.

 Informational reports generally contain three parts: (1) introduction, (2) body (findings) and (3) summary. The body may have many subsections. Consider these suggestions for writing informational reports:

Tips for Writing Reports

1. Use memo format for short informal reports sent within the organization.

2. Identify the event, item or service(exact date, name and location) and preview the topics to be discussed.

3. Summarize in the body three to five main points that might benefit the

4. reader.

5. If you attach a brochure, program, ticket stub, etc. Remember to write the word “Attachment” at the end of the memo.

In light of the new healthcare reform, employees must be covered with a new healthcare plan. Because our company has grown to have more than 50 full-time employees, charges may be assessed without compliance. Please review the following employee healthcare plans and decide on which to implement by Sunday, February 8, 2015.

1. Health Net life Insurance Co.: PPO Silver 9KG $45/$1500

Without implementing a health care plan for employee members, our company may owe fees of $2,000 per full-time employee. If only a few end up with unaffordable coverage, costs will rise to $3,000 per full-time employee who received assistance. The fee will be per month. So it is imperative we start a health care plan for employees.

After you have decided on which plan fits our company needs, please reply back by Sunday, February 8, 2015. You can reach me by telephone at (626) 123-4567 or by email at [email protected] to discuss how we can continue our company’s success.
