Personnel/Personal Department
Confidential: Report on employee ref. no #3017 - Jackie Wallace.

Jackie has been employed by the company for the last six months. The purpose of this revision/review is to examine how well she has fitted in to the office/official environment at Cotto Bros. With the present economic/economical conditions, it is important that all our staff are working to their full potential.

In terms of character, Jackie has shown keenness, and aptitude/attitude for her work. She has always been punctual, and has not yet taken any sick leave. She has a cheerful attitude/aptitude that has helped to keep up staff moral/morale .

Her work is good, though in accordance with company policy/politics it is important that she continues with her on-the-job training. Most of this can be done in-house, and her computer course is already under way.

At her six-monthly interview, I think we should complement/compliment her on her progress so far. The only area where she needs to improve is in paying attention to what is happening around her. There was a security/safety scare last week when the fire alarms went off, and she didn't notice!
