INSTRUCTIONS:

In this assignment you will write a memo report to your supervisor regarding justification for the implementation of three new proposed wellness programs (or perks) at your company (it can be the same company as the one you used in assignment one). The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate your ability to write a clear, concise and easy to read Memo. Use clear headings and consistent formatting (font, font size, spacing, etc.), and make it look good.

Review chapter eight of your text (Informal Reports). Read the Case 8.13 at the end of the chapter (called "Feasibility Report" - I posted a photo of it below as it is not easy to find) and complete the task as described in the book. Write a memo report to your (fictional) boss (which can be me if you like). Your memo should be formatted according to the example in Figure 8.7 (as it has name of company and the work MEMORANDUM at the top- these are important) on page 165 of the hard copy text. This template is about a conference but you are writing about some recommendations.

RUBRIC: Your mark will be based on: 1. clear writing 2. technique 3. formatting. Value=3%

Note: APA formatting may be needed if you use real information in your memo (in other words, information that is not your own thoughts, common knowledge or your opinion).

8.13 FEASIBILITY REPORT: HEALTH AND WELLNESS PERKS your company is considering adding some health and wellness perks that will interest cur- rent and future employees. Perks are benefits that are added above and beyond the normal medical coverage and sick pay. These wellness perks help in recruiting and retaining talented employees. You work for a smaller company that cannot compete with the great perks offered by giant companies such as Google and Amazon. However, small and medium-sized compa- nies are now adding health and wellness perks at little or no expense. You've been assigned to research and select three health and wellness perks that could be incorporated into your company's culture immediately. The company has a training room on-site for classes and a large lunchroom for lunchtime activities. You might consider the following options: a company- sponsored softball league, lunchtime walking groups, weekend hikes and bike trips, lunchtime classes on health and nutrition, or weekly yoga and cross-training classes. Search online for other possibilities, and be ready to suggest three company perks to your supervisor. Estimate the approximate costs associated with these perks, including administration costs. Then sug- gest an appropriate time frame for implementation. Your Task. Select three health and wellness perks that can be offered to employees at little or no cost. Write a memo report investigating the feasibility of adding the three perks. Begin by stating the decision to add the three perks. Then discuss the background leading up to the decision and the benefits of such programs. Estimate the approximate costs associated with each option, including administration costs, if any. Then suggest an appropriate time frame for implementation
