Dubious Achievements in Employee Communication
July's "award" goes to Irish airline Aer Lingus, which produced a "discussion document," leaked to employees, that enumerated a variety of "environmental push factors" the organization could use to encourage employees to volunteer to take a package to leave the organization. According to the BBC, these "push factors"...
...included suggestions that cabin crew swap their current uniforms for jump suits and t-shirts, while pilots should be forced to attend long, tedious training courses."I suspect that this leaked memo in its own right has served (intentionally or unintentionally) as an effective "environmental push factor."
