Answer to Question #310937 in Management for akshay

Question

new café has been set up in addition to new coffee machines in your organization. The

new machines, besides dispensing regular coffee also dispense Cappuccino, Latte, and

clear vegetable soup. This has made the workplace more interesting for the employees.

However, it has been observed by the management that the employees are frequently

taking the breaks and are often found relishing snacks at the new café. This has seriously

hampered the productivity of the employees. Most of them are now not able complete the

usual tasks in the stipulated time. Draft a memo to address the situation politely,

requesting the employees to restrict the duration of coffee breaks to a maximum of 10

minutes and to limit the number of breaks to two coffee breaks a day.

Answer 1

Hi, Members, our office has a really welcoming atmosphere, but people have taken favor of that. The majority of employers arrive late to work and take long coffee breaks. As Director of Human Resources, I'd like to send a memo to all employees on discipline, breaks, and office hours, but without being too severe. Please give me some ideas on how to go about doing it. Thank you
