RECOMMENDATION REPORTS

Project description
I want you to write a recommendation report. the instructions says “You are writing to me your college level instructor and making a recommendation about which of the “required” Meis Student Professional Development Center workshops was the best.”
Meis is STUDENT DEVELOPMENT CENTER of the school, and this is a event you will use your information Recommended for Juniors & Seniors

How workplace expectations and culture are different from college expectations
How to utilize your ‘soft’ skills professionally (electronic/in-person)
How to get a good start in the workplace as a new professional
How to dress for workplace success

How to establish YOUR Professional persona (electronic/in-person)

I will upload two Word files. One has the specific instructions and rubric, and the other file includes examples of Recommendation report.

RECOMMENDATION REPORTS
In a recommendation report, the writer analyzes a situation, draws conclusions, and makes recommendations. Aconclusion is an interpretation of facts; not a restatement of the facts. A conclusion is not a repetition of the numbers but what the numbers tell us. A recommendation is a suggested action that the company should take based on the conclusions and how that action should be implemented.

Recommendation reports may be written inductively or deductively and topic or talking headings should be used in the analysis section of the report. A content outline is given below:

1. Introduction (no heading)—include authorization (if needed), what, why, background (if needed), areasinvestigated (scope, subtopics, factors), how (if needed), and report preview.
2. Middle paragraphs—analyze the facts and include parallel headings for each separate topic or factor.
State the conclusions and recommendations either within each section or at the end of the entire analysissection.
3. Closing (no heading)—include a short summary if the report is very long, a goodwill statement, a requestfor feedback, and contact information.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Harrison White, Plant Manager
FROM: Joan Smith, Facilities Management J S
DATE: January x, xxxx
SUBJECT: Parking Lot Problems

Complaints about the condition of the parking lots have increased 25 percent since January, and I investigated these complaints as you requested. In looking at the problem, I reviewed the complaints and talked with employees. In addition, I contacted the City Electric Company and Southwest Paving, Inc. In this memo, I’m including a discussion of current parking lot problems and two recommendations.

Lights (topic heading) or Add More Lights (talking heading)

In examining the parking lot situation, I looked first at the lighting. Fifty percent of the complaints received about the parking lots involved comments on the poor lighting. I talked with 20 employees about the lots, and 15 of these employees commented that the lighting is poor. After talking with the employees, I called City Electric Company (service contract #890234), and John Jones inspected the lighting. Jones stated that the parking lots should have lighting every 50 feet. We have lights every 75 feet. City Electric would install the necessary lights for $5,000. From the evidence I gathered, it is clear we have inadequate lighting in the parking lots. Therefore, I recommend City Electric install additional lighting.

Surface (topic heading) or Repair Surface (talking heading)

After evaluating the lighting in the parking lots, I looked at the condition of the surface. From the complaint cards, I determined that 45 percent of the complaints concerned the potholes in the lot and the lack of parking space markings. Seventeen out of the twenty employees I spoke with also discussed the surface problems.
Employees commented on receiving flat tires from hitting potholes and getting dents in their car doors from cars parking too close. Harry Brown, Southwest Paving, inspected the lots and commented on the poor condition of the surface. Brown gave me an estimate of $1000 to repair potholes, seal surface, and paint parking space lines. The surface of our parking lots is in disrepair; therefore, I recommend we repair the surface immediately. While the estimate from Southwest appears reasonable, I recommend we get at least two more quotes for the job.

I have enjoyed investigating the condition of the parking lots and would like to meet with you, if possible, to discuss these two recommendations. I’ll give you a call to discuss your schedule early next week or you may contact me at extension 5555.
