Re: New employees
Date: February 12
Good morning, Maria.
I don't know if you've heard the news yet or not, but Emerald Quality Technology (EQT) has just purchased our biggest rival, Tobika Electronics. And we have guaranteed employment to all of their upper and mid-level employees. This means that our offices will soon be shared with 45 new employees.
We are planning on having a dinner/reception at the downtown Botanical Gardens on March 15 where all of our employees and the 45 incoming members of our team can get together and hopefully spend a little time getting to know each other. What I need you to come up with is an individualized packet that will be placed at each new member's table and will include the following:
The new employee's full name, office location, and phone number. I would also like for you to include some information that will help them become familiarized with their surroundings (e.g. info about office recycling, employee lounge, recreation facilities etc.). Please submit a sample packet to me by March 8 so that I can go over it and advise you on any changes.

Re: New Employee Packet
Date: February 15
Please take a look at the following example of the New Employee Packet you requested. I think it will be quite adequate, but please feel free to let me know of any changes you would like to see in place. My plan is to have these printed by March 13.

Mrs. Chin,
Welcome to Emerald Quality Technology! We hope that you find the transition to our offices as easy as possible. To help with this transition, we have matched you with Sally Masterson, one of our long-time employees.
Sally Masterson, who is sat to your left, will be your guide to settling in to your new environment. Please get to know her this evening, and feel free to contact her at anytime with questions you may have.
Employee Lounge. Employee lounges are located next to the restrooms on each floor. Each lounge is equipped with microwave, coffee maker, large refrigerator, couches, tables, and a television.
Office Recycling. In each office, you will find an "office recycler." The "office recycler" is a medium sized, red plastic bin. Please put all paper and glass products in the bin.
Mailboxes. Mailboxes are provided for each office on the first floor (room 101). If you plan on being out of the office for more than 1 week, please notify the mailroom so that your mailbox is not overflowing.
