As Adelle Justice, director of Human Resources, you must remind both day-shift and swing-shift employees of the company’s parking guidelines. Day-shift employees must park in Lots A and B in their assigned spaces. If they have not registered their cars and received their white stickers, the cars will be ticketed. Day-shift employees are forbidden to park at the curb. Swing-shift employees may park at the curb before 3:30 p. m. Moreover, after 3:30 p. m., swing-shift employees may park in any empty space—except those marked Tandem, Handicapped, Vanpool, Car Pool, or Management. Day-shift employees may loan their spaces to other employees if they know they will not be using them.

One serious problem is lack of registration (as evidenced by white stickers). Registration is done by Employee Relations. Any car without a sticker will be ticketed. To encourage registration, Employee Relations will be in the cafeteria May 12 and 13 from 11:30 a. m. to 1:30 p. m. and from 3 p. m. to 5 p. m. to take applications and issue white parking stickers.

Your Task. Write an information/procedure e-mail or memo to employees that reviews the parking guidelines and encourages them to get their cars registered. Use listing techniques, and strive for a tone that fosters a sense of cooperation rather than resentment.
