Problem: Please help with writing a memorandum for each selected scenario in which you clearly state the challenge and risk to the organization, the laws that govern the situation, and a course of action to ensure compliance.
For each situation, select a different audience for your memo from the following list:
a. Employee
b. Executive leadership
c. Management
Situation 1: The organization has done drug testing for some time; however, they want to switch to a method that detects past use. Some say that a hair follicle test can detect drug use up to three months prior. Some employees became aware of this through the company grapevine and threatened to shave their heads. Your CEO suggested requiring blood tests from those who did not provide a hair follicle.
Situation 2: An organization provides lockers for employees to store personal items securely. The employees are required to provide their own personal lock. The company, as part of their risk management program, wants to begin random and regular searches of the lockers.
Situation 3: The CEO read in recent business news that the average time employees spend working is 6.5 hours. The report identified personal e-mail use, online browsing, and phone calls as primary sources for detractors from work time. The CEO now wants e-mails and phones calls to be monitored, not for quality control, but to discover work-related violations and abuse.
