员工业绩考核备忘录:
Reviewing the Importance of Merit Ratings
To:All Managers and SupervisorsFrom:Donna Kingsley
Subject:Merit RatingsDate:14May 2006
Each of you will receive this week merit rating forms for the employees under your supervision.
I think it is necessary to point out that these ratings should not be taken lightly.As you know, they play a major role in employee promotion, salary increases, and opportunities for advancement.
I am sure you know that you are expected to rate each employee with complete honesty, yet some people insist on giving an “outstanding” rating in all categories. It s hard for me to believe that there are no average or below average employees in this company.Certainly there are numerous employees who will be given the highest ratings possible, yet when someone puts all his or her ratings in this category, I suspect the rater is taking the easy way out.
Remember, it is your obligation to discuss with each employee the rating you give her or him, pointing out tactfully what you consider to be strong and weak points and suggesting how the employee can improve attitudes, job performance, dependability and so on.
I intend to do a random sampling of the completed merit ratings each of you turns in, and you can expect to hear from me if I think your ratings are unrealistic.
重申员工绩效考核的重要性
致:全体主管及经理来自:堂娜·金斯莉
主旨:员工绩效考核日期:2006年5月14日
各位即将在本周收到各位下属员工绩效考核表。
我认为,有必要提醒各位对员工工作绩效的考核不应该掉以轻心。各位都知道,员工绩效考核对于公司员工的晋升、加薪和提升的机会等都有举足轻重的影响。
我相信各位都知道,公司期望各位以完全坦诚的心态来考核下属每一位员工的工作表现,然而还是有部分人坚持给每个考核项目都填上“优秀”这个评语。我实在很难相信我们公司里一位“尚可”或是“有待加强”的员工都没有。当然,许多员工都值得给予最高的评价,但是如果有人在每一个考核项目都给满分,那我不禁要怀疑考核主管是在以最省事的做法回避困难。
请记住,各位有义务与每一位下属的员工一起讨论您对他的评价,得体地指出您心目中这位员工的优缺点,并且就如何修正工作态度、提升工作表现、加强别人的信任等事项提出建议供员工参考。
我计划随机抽验各位交上来的员工绩效考核表,如果发现其中有不切实际的评估,一定会再找时间与这样的主管沟通。

调查高人事流动率备忘录:
To:Phil SimonFrom:Tina Matthews
Subject:Sales Rep Turnover in Richmond RegionDate:4February 2006
Dear Phil,
As you suggested, I spent the past week in Richmond to see what I could learn about the heavy sales rep. turnover there.
I was able to get in touch with the 6representatives who resigned during the past 7weeks.Each spoke highly of our products and the company as a whole.I found that in every instance the overriding reason boils down to money.All claimed big increases in income in their new jobs—in three cases 25% or more.Also, the incentive plans based on increase in sales volume offered by other companies were a powerful inducement.Of the 6who left, 4went to McAlister, which is our toughest competitor in Richmond area.
I visited with 7of our present representatives and the subject of money came up constantly.Indeed, there were veiled threats that they may leave soon if our salary incentive arrangement is not changed.
It seems to me, Phil, that we need to take a close look at our compensation policy, and I suggest we name a task force composed of yourself, me, the personnel director, and 3regional managers (my choice would be King, in Indianapolis; sherron, in Akron; and rosen, in Pittsburgh). I am sure you know
that time is important here, and I hope we can get this task force set up in the next week or two.

主旨:里士满地区销售代表流动率日期:2006年2月4日
亲爱的菲尔:
依照你的建议,我在里士满呆了一个星期,观察是不是能找出原因解释销售代表们的高流动率。
我和6位在过去7周内离职的前任销售代表取得了联系。每一个人对公司的产品以及公司本身都有相当高的评价。但是从每一次的访谈中,我都发现,原来“钱”是最主要的因素。 这6位前任员工在薪资收入上的确是另有“高”就,其中有3位薪资的提升幅度超过25%。其他同业以销售业绩为准而制定的奖金制度也是一个重要的诱因。6位离职员工有4位进了麦克亚历思特公司,该公司是我们在里士满地区的头号对手。
我拜访了7位现任销售代表,谈话中钱也是一个不断出现的重要话题。实际上存在着这样的潜在威胁,如果我们的薪资与奖金制度不作出调整,他们可能也会另谋出路。
菲尔,在我看来,公司的确需要好好地重新检讨现行的薪资与奖金政策。我建议成立一个专案小组,成员包括你、我、人事主任和3位区域经理(我心目中的人选是:印第安纳波利斯地区的金,艾克隆地区的谢特伦,还有匹兹堡地区的罗森)。我相信你了解时效的重要性,希望我们能够在一两周内成立这个专案小组。
