Flight MH370 and Lessons on Managing Employee Death from Freescale Semi-Conductor
Posted by Jessica on Monday, April 21st, 2014-Freescale-Learn how Freescale managed the loss of 20 employees on Malaysia Flight MH370.By Orcaman via Wikimedia Commons-Owen-Dunn Insurance Services
The Austin, Texas, company Freescale Semi-Conductor had 20 international employees on Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. When the lives of workers are lost in a tragedy like this, a wave of aftereffects sweep through the company, affecting morale, productivity, the emotional health of workers, and operations. By approaching employee death in a proactive, thoughtful, and caring way, the company helped minimize those negative effects, but has done less impressively in some areas. Freescale’s response can teach others about managing the tragic loss of employees.
Early Response Was Smart and Caring
It was March 8 when Flight MH370 and the 239 people on board went missing. By March 24, it was clear that the plane crashed in the southern Indian Ocean and no one could have survived. As soon as the flight was reported missing, the company’s CEO Gregg Lowe announced, “At present, we are solely focused on our employees and their families. Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by this tragic event.” Freescale assembled a team of counselors and other professionals to help coworkers cope with the loss through the company’s Employee Assistance Program.The company wisely used its Facebook page to reach out in a more personal way, posting on March 8, “We are deeply saddened about Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. We can confirm that 20 of our Freescale employees were passengers on the flight. Our hearts are with the families of those affected by this tragic event, and we will do our best to help them. Please keep the families of all those on board this flight, and especially our friends and colleagues who were among them, in your thoughts and prayers.” An update on March 19 shows employees wore orange ribbons to signify their hope for those on the flight. An April 2 update expressed its gratitude for the support offered to Freescale families and teams. Each of these posts showed care and concern for those affected by employee death.
Business Concerns Expressed Carefully
In losing many employees at once, Freescale faced some criticism for allowing so many workers to travel on a single flight. But in an interview with Reuters, risk perception writer David Ropeik explained, “When a lot of people are killed all in one place at one time, we spend disproportionate emotional focus on that risk: disproportionate to the probability and to the trade-offs involved in any risk management choice, like spreading these guys out and putting them on a bunch of different airplanes.” It’s simply too inefficient to have employees fly separately. But explaining these difficult choices to staff can be a challenge. The loss of flight MH370 was an exceptionally rare event. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 3 percent of worker deaths are attributed to aircraft incidents annually. Wisely, the company chose not to address this issue with the press.Another important business concern is replacing the highly talented workers lost. According to Tech2, Mitch Haws, the company’s vice president of global communications and investor relations said, “These were people with a lot of experience and technical background and they were very important people. It’s definitely a loss for the company.” Recognizing the importance of those lost was a thoughtful expression of this business concern.
Where Freescale Could Improve
Conspiracy theories surround the missing flight, and some have centered on Freescale’s technologies. This is one area of the company’s response that has failed to honor the lost. Now, six weeks since the flight went missing, the company still has not released the names of those lost. This only adds fuel to the media fire surrounding the flight’s disappearance. By now, the families surely have been notified, so the continued silence only serves to intensify the pain of those who lost coworkers and relatives.Why hasn’t the company used Facebook as a platform to individually honor and profile each employee death? The search for the flight may continue, but the company should offer tributes to the missing employees. Such a public memorial could do much to both offer comfort to the grieving and stave off crass conspiracy theories.
Other Takeaways for Companies Facing Similar Tragedies
Freescale’s reactions to employee death offer valuable lessons to companies. The United States Office of Personnel Management outlines several ways in which companies can help employees express their grief and find ways to cope:Empower Human Resources to act quickly – Human Resources should address outstanding wages, 401(k) plans, life insurance, and other benefits, making payments as soon as possible. Take care to outline in clear and simple language what the payments cover to minimize problems and uncertainties for the family. Give them contact information for life insurance policies and help them through the claims process.Honor the lost – Families of the deceased will decide how they wish to mourn. They may leave grieving coworkers out of the process. The company can help workers cope with an employee death by holding its own memorial service for those who lost their lives. Engage those who worked most closely with the deceased to create a service that appropriately honors the lost employee. Consider inviting the families of the deceased employees to participate.Allow time and space for grieving – Setting aside a private area where coworkers can meet and discuss their pain can help them begin to heal.Share information – Managers should share all available information regarding the employee death. In the case of flight MH370, this wasn’t possible. The right thing to do in this situation is admit you don’t know.Set the tone – Managers have one of the hardest roles in the grieving process. Not only must they cope with their own grief over an employee death, but they must set a good example for the employees they manage. Do not hide your feelings, taking care to show employees that they have permission to grieve. At the same time, continue your usual job duties to show them there’s nothing wrong with getting back to normal life, even while coping with the death of a coworker.New hires cannot replace the individuals lost - Bringing new employees on board can be uncomfortable for both the new hires and those who worked with the employees that died. Renaming and reorganizing the defined worker role can show that the company understands that the lost worker is not replaceable by simply putting a new body in the old chair.For additional help and advice on human resource management and insurance to cover the heightened risk of employee death for those that travel for business, give Owen-Dunn a call.

MH370: Last RMAF C130H aircraft returns home-Bernama, Bernama | Updated: May 10, 2014--AStro Awani
SUBANG: The last Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) C130 Hercules aircraft which took part in the operation to find the missing Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH370, landed at the Subang RMAF base today at 11am.The arrival of the aircraft, with 11 officers and 13 personnel, was received by RMAF First Air Division Commander, Major-General Datuk Azizool Arif Abdul Ghani, RMAF officers and families of the crew.Met by reporters at a reception ceremony, Azizool Arif said the aircraft left the Pearce Air Force Base in Perth, Australia at 11pm local time on Friday and stopped by in Jakarta, Indonesia, before continuing the journey to the Subang RMAF Air Base."Three C130H from the number 20 RMAF squadron were sent to Perth to join seven countries in the effort to find flight MH370."Two aircraft had departed on March 28 while another on April 5. The two aircraft have returned home on April 30 with 19 officers and 35 personnel," he said.He said they had shown a committed teamwork during the 42 days of the operation. Meanwhile, Zubaidah Zahri, 41, the wife of pilot Major Mohammad Jafri Subuh, said she was thankful her husband had returned home safely.Flight MH370 with 227 passengers and 12 crew left the KL International Airport at 12.41am for Beijing, China on March 8 before going off the radar an hour later.On March 24, 17 days after the Boeing 777-200ER aircraft had gone missing, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced that flight MH370 had ended in the southern Indian Ocean.
France opens probe into MH370 crash: judicial source-AFP, AFP | Updated: May 10, 2014-Astro Awani
PARIS: Paris prosecutors have launched a judicial investigation for involuntary homicide following the Malaysia Airlines plane crash, a judicial source said Friday.The probe was launched on Wednesday. Four French nationals were among the passengers, including three students from the French school in Beijing, and the mother of two of the pupils.The aircraft disappeared on March 8 with 239 people on board and an intense search for the plane has been scaled back after coming up with nothing despite an air and sea hunt over 4.64 million square kilometres of the southern Indian Ocean.The Malaysian government has been roundly criticised for the manner it responded to the crash and the way it conducted search operations.
MH370 Tripartite Meeting-Communiqué-5 May 2014
Senior Ministers from Australia, Malaysia and China met today to discuss the way forward for the new phase of the search for MH370.Australia's Deputy Prime Minister, the Honourable Warren Truss MP chaired the meeting with the Malaysian Minister of Defence and Acting Minister of Transport, Mr Hishamuddin Bin Tun Hussein and the Chinese Minister of Transport, Mr Yang Chuantang on the status of the search for MH370 and future plans for the search.Ministers acknowledged the outstanding work and contribution of the 26 nations who have helped thus far; from the South China Sea to the Straits of Malacca, the Andaman Sea, the northern and southern corridors and now the southern Indian Ocean.Ministers reiterated their utmost appreciation to the 5 nations, besides Australia, Malaysia and China, that have provided assets and personnel: Japan, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States of America, for their commitment and dedication in the operations in the southern Indian Ocean, off the West Australian coast. Following the extensive surface search, Ministers confirmed that the search will be a continuous effort with the operation entering a new phase that will now be focused on intensifying the search of the ocean floor over a larger area.While we are preparing for this new phase, dedicated vessels from Australia, Malaysia and China will continue maritime operations to maintain continuity and momentum, with the Bluefin-21 submersible continuing to be deployed, and an Australian aircraft on standby.These activities will include analysis of all available data to refine the best search area; acquisition of bathymetric analysis capability to survey the search area; and acquisition of sub-surface search assets to scan the entire agreed search area.The meeting reiterated that Australia will continue to assist Malaysia in the search efforts for MH370. Steps are currently being undertaken by Australia and Malaysia to conclude a more comprehensive agreement that would clearly define the responsibilities of both Parties for aspects of the search and recovery task and, in particular, financial responsibilities for any contracting of commercial search and recovery capabilities by the Parties.Malaysia has established an International Investigation Team which also includes representatives from Australia and China to evaluate, investigate and determine the actual cause of the incident so similar incidents could be avoided in the future. Accordingly, the wreckage and flight recorders data (blackbox) once recovered, shall be managed in accordance with the International Civil Aviation Organisation international convention.A plan was also discussed for a refocused and intensified sub-surface search as part of the arrangements to transition to a new phase in the search for MH370 and reconfirmed the ongoing international maritime search capability.Ministers agreed to continue senior level discussions on the arrangements for engaging specialist commercial services and equipment to commence a new sub-surface search.Ministers also discussed the level of ongoing support to the search and agreed to identify the relevant assets based on upcoming discussions.Ministers unreservedly acknowledged the paramount importance of doing everything possible for the families of the passengers and crew. Ministers agreed to a proposed reception programme for any planned visit for the next of kin to Perth. In the event of confirmation of the final resting place of MH370, or identification of debris related to MH370, it was agreed that:any visit will take place between two to four weeks after confirmation; Australia will provide support and information to the next of kin in terms of entry requirements to ensure their travel into and out of Australia are well taken care of; the Western Australian Government will take a lead role in organising rituals and services according to their traditions and religions, and facilitate arrangements for basic needs of the next of kin during their stay in Australia;Malaysia Airlines will be responsible for travel arrangements for the next of kin from Malaysia and all other countries. The airline will also retain broad responsibility for their support during the visit including flights, accommodation, transportation and family support;China will actively facilitate and support matters relating to the Chinese next of kin.Ministers reiterated the positive and productive nature of the joint communications to date and will continue to maintain this strong collaborative approach in the future. Ministers also emphasized that the families of the passengers and crew and the general public will continue to be updated on the development and outcome of the search operation.To support this, the Joint Agency Coordination Centre will be relocated from Perth to Canberra to ensure ongoing close communication with high level representatives of Malaysia and China. However, the base of operations will remain in Perth.

Flight MH370 and Lessons on Managing Employee Death from Freescale Semi-Conductor

Senior Ministers from Australia, Malaysia and China met today to discuss the way forward for the new phase of the search for MH370.Australia's Deputy Prime Minister, the Honourable Warren Truss MP chaired the meeting with the Malaysian Minister of Defence and Acting Minister of Transport, Mr Hishamuddin Bin Tun Hussein and the Chinese Minister of Transport, Mr Yang Chuantang on the status of the search for MH370 and future plans for the search.Ministers acknowledged the outstanding work and contribution of the 26 nations who have helped thus far; from the South China Sea to the Straits of Malacca, the Andaman Sea, the northern and southern corridors and now the southern Indian Ocean.Ministers reiterated their utmost appreciation to the 5 nations, besides Australia, Malaysia and China, that have provided assets and personnel: Japan, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States of America, for their commitment and dedication in the operations in the southern Indian Ocean, off the West Australian coast. Following the extensive surface search, Ministers confirmed that the search will be a continuous effort with the operation entering a new phase that will now be focused on intensifying the search of the ocean floor over a larger area.While we are preparing for this new phase, dedicated vessels from Australia, Malaysia and China will continue maritime operations to maintain continuity and momentum, with the Bluefin-21 submersible continuing to be deployed, and an Australian aircraft on standby.These activities will include analysis of all available data to refine the best search area; acquisition of bathymetric analysis capability to survey the search area; and acquisition of sub-surface search assets to scan the entire agreed search area.The meeting reiterated that Australia will continue to assist Malaysia in the search efforts for MH370. Steps are currently being undertaken by Australia and Malaysia to conclude a more comprehensive agreement that would clearly define the responsibilities of both Parties for aspects of the search and recovery task and, in particular, financial responsibilities for any contracting of commercial search and recovery capabilities by the Parties.Malaysia has established an International Investigation Team which also includes representatives from Australia and China to evaluate, investigate and determine the actual cause of the incident so similar incidents could be avoided in the future. Accordingly, the wreckage and flight recorders data (blackbox) once recovered, shall be managed in accordance with the International Civil Aviation Organisation international convention.A plan was also discussed for a refocused and intensified sub-surface search as part of the arrangements to transition to a new phase in the search for MH370 and reconfirmed the ongoing international maritime search capability.Ministers agreed to continue senior level discussions on the arrangements for engaging specialist commercial services and equipment to commence a new sub-surface search.Ministers also discussed the level of ongoing support to the search and agreed to identify the relevant assets based on upcoming discussions.Ministers unreservedly acknowledged the paramount importance of doing everything possible for the families of the passengers and crew. Ministers agreed to a proposed reception programme for any planned visit for the next of kin to Perth. In the event of confirmation of the final resting place of MH370, or identification of debris related to MH370, it was agreed that:any visit will take place between two to four weeks after confirmation; Australia will provide support and information to the next of kin in terms of entry requirements to ensure their travel into and out of Australia are well taken care of; the Western Australian Government will take a lead role in organising rituals and services according to their traditions and religions, and facilitate arrangements for basic needs of the next of kin during their stay in Australia;Malaysia Airlines will be responsible for travel arrangements for the next of kin from Malaysia and all other countries. The airline will also retain broad responsibility for their support during the visit including flights, accommodation, transportation and family support;China will actively facilitate and support matters relating to the Chinese next of kin.Ministers reiterated the positive and productive nature of the joint communications to date and will continue to maintain this strong collaborative approach in the future. Ministers also emphasized that the families of the passengers and crew and the general public will continue to be updated on the development and outcome of the search operation.To support this, the Joint Agency Coordination Centre will be relocated from Perth to Canberra to ensure ongoing close communication with high level representatives of Malaysia and China. However, the base of operations will remain in Perth.
