Communication.
Bulletin Board.
All information regarding changes in policy or procedures will be posted on the
downstairs bulletin board. Each employee is to check it daily and initial any new
items to verify that those items have been read.
Grievances.
Any questions about the employee’s duties, wages, or anything related to the posi-
tion can be frankly and fully discussed with management. If not completely satisfied
with the manager’s answer, the employee may request a meeting with Ellie.
Making Suggestions.
Ellie and the management welcome and encourage suggestions on improving stu-
dio procedures, atmosphere, and productivity. The studio becomes more profitable
and the work becomes easier if the studio becomes more efficient.
Using Company Equipment.
The working tools and equipment entrusted to employees’ care are both valuable
and varied. Remember that careful handling and maintenance of all equipment will
insure the standard of quality and service expected by our clients. If you do not un-
derstand the operation of a piece of equipment, do not attempt to use it without
proper instruction.
All information regarding
changes in policy or
procedures will be posted
on the bulletin board.
