Notice that the instructions ask the supervisor to notify Tony regarding the outcome of his telecommuting application. The message should be gentle, honest about the reasons for refusal, and leave open the possibility for future application once conditions are met.

The message should clearly state the principal idea (the bad news), support it with logical reasoning, and end on a positive note by encouraging improvement and future opportunities. It must be professional, maintain a "you" attitude, ensure accuracy of facts, and use active language with proper formatting. The tone should be respectful and constructive, emphasizing that Tony's performance and communication skills need further development before reconsideration.

Paper For Above instruction

Subject: Update on Your Telecommuting Application

Dear Tony,

Thank you for expressing your interest in participating in our telecommuting program. We appreciate your dedication and the contributions you have made to our team since joining Northrop Grumman. After careful consideration of your application and current performance, I regret to inform you that, at this time, your request to telecommute cannot be approved.

This decision is based on a few key factors. As outlined in our company policies, eligibility for telecommuting requires a proven track record of high performance, seniority, and excellent communication skills. While your performance over the past year has been satisfactory, it has not yet reached the level of outstanding contribution needed. Additionally, during your recent performance review, we noted that your communication skills are still developing, which is a vital criterion for successful remote work in our program.

We genuinely believe in your potential and recognize your commitment to improvement. To enhance your prospects for future consideration, I encourage you to focus on strengthening your communication skills and further demonstrating your reliability and efficiency at work. Engaging in additional training or seeking feedback to refine these skills could make a significant difference.

We value your role within the team and look forward to supporting your growth. Once you have gained additional experience, demonstrated more consistent high performance, and further improved your communication, I would be happy to revisit your application. Please feel free to discuss any concerns or ask for guidance on the steps you can take toward qualifying for telecommuting in the future.

Thank you for your understanding, and I appreciate your ongoing dedication to our team. We are confident that with continued effort, you will be well-positioned for future opportunities.

Sincerely,

[Supervisor’s Name]

Supervisor, Northrop Grumman Corporation
