答案:Memo From: Jenny Cunningham, HR manager To: Karl Jansen, Managing director Date: 1 July Subject: Advise on “office relationship” issue We absolutely agree with your concern delivered in your memo. To proceed better, the Human Resources Department has discussed about the three cases in great details. The analysis and solution are as follows: Analysis: • Case1 We had better to select the new manager between the three candidates again (that is, without Marcus taking part in),for that if we let it go, Tania won't gain her colleagues acknowledgement, which is an obstacle for her future development in our company. AS for Marcus, we had better not to punish him severely, but to warn him that he should quit from the selection. I hope that things will become better in the future. • Case2 In the second case, there is no doubt with John’s re-assignment, for specific punishment measures must be taken to prevent such things from happening again. However, how to solve the forthcoming labor dispute is of great significance as well. Tell John the re-assignment is just temporary, and promotion will come only if he spares no effort and release all his potential abilities. • Case3 In case three, if the accusation against Derek Hartman proved to be true, we should formally notice him to notice him to treat his staff equally and wait for further feedback to see if he could behave better. If not, we should take steps to improve the situation, such like adjusting his position. Solution & Further action: • Undoubtedly, a written policy on close relationships at work is necessary as recent events reveal the urgency of regulated office atmosphere. The main guidelines, consequently, should be building specific and distinct boundary between works and personal lives and ordering decision-makers to base their judgement on level criterion and treat the staff equally. The sanctions are depended on the actual situation but basically they concern changes in position and less rights in decision-making process. • To deal with close relationships in work, firstly, it should be monitored in a proper way , which is to ensure the staff’s rights while avoid further harm. Secondly, if a decision being discussed concerns relevant individual, the involved should voluntarily get departed from the discussion. • We strongly suggest those new rules should be added to the staff regulation: 1.Couples shouldn't work in the same department. 2.He or she shouldn't make benefits for his or her spouse for personal reasons. Summary: As you can see, some inappropriate decisions towards office romance have been made and thus caused a negative influence. It ’ s never too late to mend, however, with more specific regulation and stricter supervision , the current situation could be improved to a great extent. I ’ m looking forward to your reply sincerely.
