Management Behavior Assignment #1 Human Capital Management December 17, 2009 December 17, 2009 Memo To: First-Level Managers From: Subject: Transition into merger with Enviro Tech The merger with Enviro Tech is an opportunity for managers and non-managerial employees to work together to transition into new roles and positions that will be created through the merger. As you know there have been some discussions about lay-offs among the employees on the work floors. Although this merger is going to reshape and define many of our roles as managers you need to continue to drive production and productivity through multifactor’s that are in line with human resources and your employee’s. Managers it is your responsibility to work cooperatively with human resources for staffing, retention, development, adjustment and managing merger changes. Management changes are developed by rebuilding employee’s loyalty through recognition of their quality of work life. “What is important to your employee’s'” The value of employee’s can be strengthened by promoting teamwork, treating employees fairly through skills assessments to determine merit increases and promotions, on the job training and the open-door policy for face to face communication to discuss concerns and conflict resolution. Managers are to conduct quarterly staff meetings to obtain employees input for job improvement and an annual anonymous survey’s focusing on the job duties and work relationships. The ability to be more involved with the thought process of your employee’s attitudes, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment can have a negative or positive impact on the financial stability. As a reminder forms of illegal discrimination such as unequal treatment and adverse impact will not be tolerated and can result in termination. The law prohibits discrimination of employment, recruitment, selection and evaluation process, promotion, training, compensation, discipline, retention and in working conditions. EEO requires that all persons receive the same opportunities for promotion, training and hiring. Managers can utilize the seniority systems, preemployment inquire, testing for new hires to assess skills and knowledge and be mindful of any group or members of groups that might jeopardize National Security. These exemptions have fine lines that must be adhered to therefore working in conjunction with human resources is necessary. To conclude the merger will bring forth a variety of diversity and managers need to be accepting of culture differences and educate employee’s through training and development videos and role play scenarios to create an environment that performance can be met. No particular groups should have an advantage or disadvantage to performing their jobs. References Cascio, W. (2006) Managing human resources: Productivity quality of work life, profits (7th Ed).
