In addition, we will now be able to position ourselves to gain a larger share of the marketplace. In light of this incredibly exciting news and the numerous recent changes, there is some information that is necessary to communicate with you.

Managers must understand how imperative it is that their behavior can have both positive and negative impacts on the productivity of the sales force. As you may have heard, our sales representatives will now be grouped into multifunctional teams. In order for the reps to provide outstanding service, they will be going though some very extensive training. In turn, to ensure that managers are leading by example, they will go through the same extensive training. Please refrain from speaking negatively about the organization or the merger. Equally important is the fact that all managers show that the merger is a good thing for both companies. Your behavior should...

... Now don’t get me wrong, I am sure that there will be a lot of questions about job security and the way you answer these questions can have a big effect on your employees trust in the company. During difficult times such as this one, it is important for management to not change their behavior in any negative way. Usually changes in management’s behavior can have a negative effect on employees’ productivity. As a manager it will be essential to maintain your composure and not show any of the uncertainty that you yourselves may have. I want you to assure your employees that the changes we are making is for the better of the company. What we are trying to do is bring InterClean, Inc. to its full potential and make it a leading global company in environmental services. I’m sure you have read the memo from David Spencer explaining the merger. The changes that we are about to go through will be very different and it is going to be up to you as managers to try to make this a smooth transition for your current employees and your future employees. Another issue that I want to cover is the treatment of the new employees. When they began their journey with the company we want to make sure that they feel at home. It can sometimes be easy to show alliance to your current employees and while not intentionally showing animosity towards the new ones....

...| | Memo To: Management Team From: Clark Kent CC: David Spencer Date: July 6, 2010 Re: InterClean-Enviro Tech Merger I’m sure by now you are all aware of the upcoming merger with EnviroTech. You all had an opportunity to read the e-mail from Mr Spencer so you know the importance of making this important move forward. I feel it is important for me to emphasize the crucial role that you have in laying the foundation for a very successful merger. Communication is the key to any successful organization. As supervisor you must have open and clear communication to your staff at all times. The goals and visions of our company must be emphasized not once but over and over again so that our employees understand what it is that they are working to achieve. Once they thoroughly understand they have a stake in the outcome, you will see their motivation and loyalty level skyrocket. As a former member of a recruiting organization that did not promote training or employee development, it was very clear to me that management had a huge impact on productivity in a work environment. When I began working for this aforementioned organization, I reported to work on the designated day and time and was rather pumped up to start my new job. Unfortunately I had no one to greet me, introduce me to other members in my section, or even show me the various dos and don’ts of the job...

I believe that retaining and developing our employees during the merger is a key component to the success of our division. Many of our employees could feel uncertain during the merger. It is very important that you keep the communication open and are around if they have questions or concerns. There are also some key components of retention that I would like to share with you. Retention comprises the activities of (1) rewarding employees for performing their job effectively (2) ensuring harmonious working relations between employees and managers; and (3) maintaining a safe, healthy working environment (Cascio, 2006, p6) as you can see one of the most important aspects of your managerial duties is to maintain a positive work environment. The management must be there for our employees and ensure that they feel that all of their needs will be heard and addressed. It is very important as managers that you address concerns in a timely manner and please feel free to contact our Human Resource department if needed for extra support. Oneof the most important jobs of management is to retain fairness in the organization. There are several examples on ways to exemplify that...

As we discussed at the meeting, it is critical to the success of our company to ensure that the sales management team exhibits behaviors that support the merger, optimizes profitability during and after the transition, and we support staff before, during and after the changes that we are about to face. As we discussed, I expect you to ensure we maintain worker productivity, meet or exceed all human resource management legal requirements, and maintain or promote diversity within the workforce. Behaviors that support productivity As supervisors you can have a significant impact on your team’s productivity. This is particularly true during turbulent times when there is a tendency for employee morale to dip, feelings of insecurity to rise, and stress to run rampant. These factors can lead to absenteeism, tardiness, work stoppages, and other productivity drains. In the extreme, seasoned professionals that believe that their positions are at risk may seek positions elsewhere leading to organizational brain drain, and the need...

Their products are of high quality that brought them big and loyal customers. The ambitious CEO, David Spencer, decide to move the company towards service oriented offering. Based on the water cooler conversations, we realize that the company is not doing very good in the last year. From the results of the HR interviews, we know that the company employees are very diverse. Explain how a manager’s behavior can affect the productivity of his or her workers. In the case described, CEO, David Spencer communicated his intention of a major upcoming change through a companywide email communication. Later HR Vice President, Janet Durham, started working with her HR Team to come up with a plan that is suitable for training the employees and sales persons. After Janet’s email the HR team is going to start thinking about the training strategy. And later VP of Marketing, Tom Jennings, informed that he overheard the sales reps that he is concerned about. Later on February 7th, 2005, David Spencer had the executive meeting to get their alignment. This sequence of scenario shows the CEO communicated premature information to entire employee community entirely as a surprise. He does not have a training plan in place before communicating. He did not communicate this plan with the company executives before announcing the plan. This...

Kearney Date: November 8, 2010 Re: InterClean-Enviro Tech Merger This memo is designed to inform the first-level managers about the recent merger with Environ Tech and the vital role management will play in ensuring the transition is a smooth one for everyone. I will explain the expectations for the management team and discuss how important it is managers lead by example so that other employees will follow the managers lead. The attitude of a manager has a huge effect on subordinates, and as managers it is important not to allow behaviors to hinder the performance of others and this is each supervisor will have to develop better strategies when working in an environment with diversity. The merger will generate a higher degree of diversity, which will allow others to build on their strengths and innovative abilities. InterCleans expansion into new markets affords the company to acquire more consumers. With more consumers come more markets shares that the company can draw from any competitors in the process. This is why it is vitally important for all managers to unify so this can be a successful venture. Embracing the merger will show others the positives making them want to join in and support the merger with renewed ideas. Productivity...
