John,

Thanks for including me on the distribution of this -- I received your voice
mail and was glad to be in the loop.

In general, we try to avoid any type of personality/psych testing because of
issues relating to the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits
pre-employment medical testing. It does apply to US citizens working for
Enron in foreign locations (i.e. extraterritorially).

Before we go forward and do this type of testing, it is useful to ascertain
the purpose/goal of the tests. Why do they want this information? Is there
another, less intrusive, way to obtain that information (e.g., references
from prior employers, etc.)?

As noted below, there may be Japanese labor/employment law issues that
address this type of activity as well. I suggest that we obtain the
information above as well as the opinion requested below and then determine
how to proceed.

Michelle

Michelle-

Pursuant to my voicemail, I am forwarding the attached e-mail traffic for
your consideration. I am unsure as to the types of testing contemplated, but
want to ensure that such activities are permitted under Enron's policy.

Your comments on the attached agreement would also be appreciated.

Thanks,

John

Hi John

Enron will be using PDI in Tokyo for candidate abilities testing prior to
employment. The outcome of the testing is a confidential report that comes
to me (as HR) and I then send to the participant(s) in the recruitment
decision making process for their confidential consumption. PDI have agreed
to me doing this via email, however are seeking some reassurance as to our
use of and maintenance of confidentiality of the final product. Can you
review the attached and come back to me with your thoughts? I would also
appreciate a local (Japan) opinion on the legal issues associated with
abilities/psych testing prior to employment (I know you guys shy away from it
in the US although it is quite widely accepted "down under").

Thanks and regards

Phil

With the e-mail transmission (using .pdf files), we'll need you or someone

Thanks very much,
