Mark, note the feedback from the AA's, it is imperative that we get a handle
on this! Let me know when I can spring our plan on Jeff.

Additionally, I met with Celeste Roberts on July 21 and held another meeting with the Associates on same date. The planned dinners with the associates as well as the proactive approach ENA is taking with them is the correct course of action.

The major concern expressed by everyone in the meeting was that the program has become a bureaucracy vs a meritocracy. According to the Associates, the program has become inflexible on any issue and the only feedback they receive is "go talk to Skilling if you don't like the answers". Another major concern was compensation. After listening to the comments, my conclusion is that there are some problems that need to be addressed. Specific recommendations by this small group include (1) reduce amount of time in program before promotion to manager from 18 months to 12 months, (2) increase Associates involvement in rotation decisions, (3) explanations of why the program is structured in a certain way without defensive comments of "go talk to Skilling", (4) generally, more of an open market approach so that we are using a "carrot vs stick" method to motivate behavior. Let me know about the next meeting to discuss. Jere ---------------------- Forwarded by Jere C Overdyke/HOU/ECT on 07/17/2000 02:23 PM --------------------------- Enron North America Corp.

We are presently working on a number of initiatives to improve how this is working and significantly improve communication flow and responsiveness. However in this regard we also need you to help make sure we have clear lines of communication within ENA regarding A&A resource levels, performance, rotations and retention efforts. In this regard we would like for each of you to take the lead for your groups needs and ensure that any requests, questions or concerns about A&A's in your area are passed through you to either Ted Bland (ENA Recuitment Team Lead - x35275) or Jana Giovannani (ENA liaison from the AA Program - x39233) or myself. It is important that we are discerning about what we do with our A&A resources and plan carefully and accurately for our future needs, in this regard we need for you personally (or a senior member of your team who you may optionally delegate this task to) will take the time to review any A&A resource requests from your team before passing them onto us. In addition, given the importance of these resources, we will be inviting you to a regular bi-monthly meeting to discuss ENA A&A matters. We will confirm the first date in due course. In the meantime if you would like to volunteer another senior member of your team to assume this reponsibility please supply their name as soon as possible. Please call with any questions.
