SAMPLE - MEMORANDUM TO STAFF: USEAGE OF SUPPLIES

Sample - Memorandum to Staff to Use Supplies More Judiciously

M E M O R A N D U M

To:  ALL STAFF

From:  [NAME OF SENDER]

Date:  [DATE OF MEMORANDUM]
I have recently noticed that the supplies in the supply room are being consumed at an accelerated rate, which is not in proportion to our level of business activity. I have also observed a trend toward hoarding supplies at individual's work stations.

These trends must be reversed. I would ask all staff to review their supplies at their work stations and return any excess or duplicate supplies back to the supply room. This will ensure an adequate inventory of supplies for all staff, and will reduce our costs.

Your anticipated co-operation is greatly appreciated.

I have recently noticed that it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain cleanliness and order in the supply room.

It is in everyone's interest to keep the supply room neat and tidy. I would like to remind all staff that when using the supply room, it is your obligation to ensure that the room is left in the same state of cleanliness as when you entered it.

Your anticipated co-operation is greatly appreciated.

In unity, there is strength enough to construct a colossus.  From the foundation to the ridgepole, the parts reinforce and support one another to create a cathedral that will echo with the sounds of success.  [COMPANY NAME] prospers because of the synergism our employees individually and collectively provide in building solidarity.

Recently, we asked several within our organization to select the team that displays productive fellowship and a unified winning spirit.  The results clearly show that teamwork is pervasive throughout the ranks.  We had so much difficulty selecting the best partnership that we are contemplating bestowing more than one award in the future.

This year, I am pleased to announce that the winners of [COMPANY
NAME]'s team award are: [ NAMES OF TEAM MEMBERS].  Their coordination and diligence exemplify the principle that mastery of the whole
requires mastery of the parts.  Please join me in congratulating every
team member for this prestigious recognition of their collective contribution.

SUBJECT:  We're Looking for the Winning [COMPANY NAME]
Team

There are few professions in which competence alone leads to success.  A quarterback needs someone to receive the pass; a director needs an actor to follow his directions.  Life is full of  interdependent relationships in which cooperative efforts achieve the best results.

Teamwork is an overarching goal of [COMPANY NAME].  We believe that collective enthusiasm, motivation, and perseverance are the factors that separate success from failure.  Among our diverse personnel and responsibilities, there are teams that prove and promote this corporate goal.

Soon, you will receive a nomination form for this year's notable team award.  We want to know why your quarterback deserves the Theismann trophy.  How your defensive ends support strategic plays. And what your team has done to win the Super Bowl of [COMPANY NAME] team awards.

Look for this form in your mailbox, and be sure to complete it by the requested date.  As their coach, you will be in line for a commendation too.  A team is only as good as the coach who counsels, educates, and sponsors the players.

Motivation Award

Winners accept challenges with determination, perseverance, and stamina.  Take the example of the man whose life took the following turns before he reached his goal: he failed at a business, was defeated for the legislature, failed again in business, suffered the loss of a love, had a nervous breakdown, was defeated in an election, was defeated for Congress three times in five years, was defeated for the Senate, was defeated for the office of vice president, and was defeated for the Senate one last time.

Abraham Lincoln's struggle to overcome obstacles continued right up until the time he was elected President of the United States.  He serves as an excellent model for success.  Today, I announce a search for the best among us--the employees with the winning, often contagious, attitude to make themselves and [COMPANY NAME] better every day.  Winners receive [ LIST WHAT AWARD RECIPIENT RECEIVES].

We have so many excellent employees that management alone cannot choose the recipient of [COMPANY NAME]'s prestigious motivational award.  We need your help.  Therefore, you will soon receive a nomination form that you can use to vote for a peer who demonstrates presidential drive.  Thank you for your daily support, which allows our company to be the success we all want it to be.

Perfectionism is both a blessing and a curse.  My desire for excellence has uncovered areas in the [ NAME OF PROJECT, REPORT, OR TASK ] report that require additional effort and research.  Rather than submitting a report that fails to meet our standards, I intend to continue to devote extra energy to ensuring the information's accuracy and validity.

These steps will require that I spend more time on the task. However, I will do my very best to have the complete [ NAME OF PROJECT, REPORT, OR TASK ] report in your hands no later than [DATE].

Have confidence that my acknowledgment of this atypical behavior will have a positive effect.  From this point forward, I promise to pay special attention to meeting the challenge with utmost enthusiasm.Thank you for understanding.

SUBJECT:  Combining Companies for Maximum Reach

Throughout history, advancements have been attributed to the vision of individuals looking beyond what the consensus deemed acceptable.  Futurists saw a need for change, set goals in their minds, and ignored the bantering and negative opinions of others.  Whether exploring uncharted territory or finding  a cure for a devastating disease, great men and women have always embraced change and recognized potential.

Foresight has enabled [COMPANY NAME] to accomplish our goal of  being a strong company equipped for long-term growth.  As market  conditions become more competitive and economically driven, this  vision must be realigned.  [COMPANY NAME] has determined that our goals will be best met by combining resources with the well-respected [YOUR COMPANY NAME].

For the merger to be successful, we must work together.  I ask each of you to promise one thing.  That is, challenge yourself to move out of your comfort zone and welcome this change as an opportunity.  A bit of initial uncertainty is unavoidable.  Be strong and stand by our company in creating the greatest opportunity of all time.  You have my promise that the new territory we are about to explore is full of prosperity.
