In this memo, the management wishes to put a notice of the proceeding of the company

and the direction expected to take shape after the selling of the organization to our competitor.

The decision has been informed by the need to improve on service delivery and quality of

healthcare to the society. In the drafting of the terms of selling and purchase of the company, the

employees are well catered for in the organization. Hence, the transition of management should

culminate into changing of terms and conditions of employment. In order to raise the morale of

the employees and smooth transition to new management, the employees shall be issued with

new work-cards and a 5% stipend increase.

M8A1 2

All employees are expected to follow the necessary protocol and maintain their

professionalism to the highest degree as usual.

Yours Sincerely,

The President of the HealthCare Agency.

Justification

There is every need to provide a smooth transition of the management as it directly

affects the employees’ productivity and performance. Similarly, keeping employees informed in

an official capacity is critical to avoid instances of rumors and speculations (Manning & Curtis,

2014). In turn, employees ought to be assured of their plight under the new management and

provide continuity of the professional level in the healthcare service provision. The terms of

service and employment under the management assures the employees of continued support

eliminating any chance of rumor mongering for mistreatment under the new management

(Schaefer, 2004). Therefore, employees are guaranteed of great treatment and support in

improving services and quality of their performance. Employees motivation is to be provided

through the 5% stipend raise as an assurance of the efficiency of the new management.
