BUSINESS 3000 Intermediate Professional Skills Activity homework: Writing from Facts- University of Northern Iowa
You company has become concerned that it is losing about 27% of its new employees within 18 months of their joining the company. In an effort to reduce this significant turnover, your company has created the "Make ‘Em Welcome" Task Force; your manager has assigned you to the task force as the representative of your department.
The Task Force is developing a retention program for new employees throughout the company. The retention program has three main goals:
• To analyze available data about the experiences of all new employees, both those who leave in less than two years and those who remain longer.
• To identify key factors that differentiate employees who leave the company in less than two years from those who remain with the company.
• To develop a comprehensive plan that will address the factors that appear to be connected to the loss of employees within their first two years with the company.
The Task Force already has reliable data that clearly suggest that the lack of an effective orientation to the company and to their departments has been a major discriminator in employee retention. With that in mind, the Task Force will soon implement the first stage of its retention plan: the Pal Program.
This new program pairs each new employee with an experienced member of his or her department, for orientation and support during the new employee's first three months at your company. The PAL program has three key goals:
• To welcome new employees to the organization.
• To ensure that new employees have a thorough and effective orientation to the company, to their department and to their job during their first weeks at the company.
• To reduce turnover of new employees by integrating them into the company organization and culture within their first three months of employment.
Your job is to write a memo to the employees who have been recruited to become Pals to new employees. You have heard that a number of these Pals were appointed by their department heads and did not have much choice about taking on Pal responsibility. You have heard that some people are very pleased to be a Pal and feel that their selection as a Pal is recognition of their contributions and importance to the company; others are rather grumpy about it because they were not consulted before being appointed.
The list that follows gives you the relevant facts about this new PAL Program that you may want to incorporate into your memo.
