MMORhJWM FOR: Acting Deputy Director for Support
SUBJECT : Overweight Zployees
1. There are several ways of promoting a weight
reduction program in the Agency. The most effective way
it seems to us is to follow an earlier formula laid down
by the civil Service Commission to curb problem drinking.
This approach ines management responsibility with tech-
nical and professional resources and would be essentially
as foll+:
a. It is our suggestion that the Director
state his concerns about overweight personnel to
his senior staff. we think this should be done
verbally. in stating his views the Director may
care to indicate that personnel with obvious excess
weight can be identified by supervisors.
b. The supervisor should make known to
individual that he shares the Director's interest
and concern the employee's well-being and his
ability to work at his best in his job. Individuals,
so identified, might work in concert with their own
private physicians or obtain advice and assistance
through the consultative services of the office of
Medical Services.
c. Our office will continue to wrestle on a
daily basis with problems of obesity as they come
to our attention through our examination programs.
Our guidance and advice in each instance would be
strengthened by an established management attitude
as suggested. Those cases coming to us through
consultative services would continue to receive in-
dividually tailored attention according to specific
needs,, including examination and referral as required.
