Memorandum

TO:              All Staff     

FROM:         Admin. Dept.

DATE:          26 May 2002

SUBJECT:      Cancellation of cross-training program

Effective January 1 our employee cross-training program will be terminated. Those employees currently working outside their department will return to their regular duties as of that date.

This cancellation was due to by the poor design and implementation of the program. While there is an indisputable value to cross-training employees, our current program is not meeting the needs of either the employees or the company. We have, therefore, elected to cancel the current cross-training effort. The program will be redesigned over the course of the next few months and reinstated at a future date.

I do appreciate the enthusiasm with which many of you entered this program. Please feel free to pass along any observations or suggestions to the Employee Education Office. The future success of this program depends upon not only your participation, but your input as well.
