Season 1. Part 3 – Team Building

August 9, 2016 • 44 mins

The cornerstone of the MarsCorp terraforming mission is teamwork, so it is essential that department heads work closely and effectively with MarsCorp team members. Managers must ensure instructions are clear and understandable, and from this, synergistic interaction between employees to effectively carry out goal-oriented tasks will follow. Nowhere is this more important than in the terraforming department, due to the presence of v...

Season 1. Part 4 – Annual Leave

August 17, 2016 • 49 mins

We here at MarsCorp recognise that life isn’t just about work, even when it’s as important as our terraforming mission. ‘Down time’ is also vital, as it allows employees to mingle in an non-work environment, which in turn allows them to perform better in the work environment. To these ends, MarsCorp allocates an appropriate amount of company materials for non-work employee activities. Release of materials will be controlled by the ...

Season 1. Part 5 – Partnership & Cooperation

August 23, 2016 • 47 mins

The greater MarsCorp family features many units, and in order to achieve success these units must cooperate to establish synergistic partnerships. The most complex of these partnerships is between the main MarsCorp base and the mining outpost, which will extract raw materials from the planet for use in the terraforming mission. Alignment between mining operations and main base operations will be realised as long as the goal of terr...

Season 1. Part 6 – Appropriate Working Relationships

August 30, 2016 • 47 mins

MarsCorp supports and encourages close working between MarsCorp employees – but strong relationships require strong boundaries. To ensure a harmonious working environment that will maximise employee output, any and all romantic objectives must be acted on only through the MarsCorp employee co-bonding database, which will ensure minimal confrontation in any relationship and maximal physical and emotional pleasure. In the event of no...

Season 1. Part 7 – Technical Difficulties

September 6, 2016 • 45 mins

The MarsCorp base is at the cutting edge of extraterrestrial long-term dwelling. The combination of the most advanced AI and robotic systems will allow the colony to thrive as the human capital progresses with the terraforming mission. All systems have undergone rigorous testing, with a less than 0.001% chance of failing to execute primary functions – such as oxygen, light, heating and shielding elements – outlined in the manual. I...

Season 1. Part 8 – Disciplinary Action

September 13, 2016 • 45 mins

Pre-mission personality screening has ensured almost zero percent chance of conflict between employees – we also remind all workers they have agreed to the MarsCorp morality pledge when embarking on this mission – and computer modelling has determined there is little to no need for security services on MarsCorp. However, one employee shall be assigned the role of security to ensure ’security of possessions’ (eg. key cards). This pe...

Season 1. Part 9 – Employee Initiative

September 20, 2016 • 45 mins

While the official MarsCorp Manual sets out all the parameters for the successful operation of the colony and progress of the terraforming mission, MarsCorp does encourage employees to use their initiative to, where possible, improve operations by reacting to the unique conditions of Mars and come up with innovations. Innovations must receive approval from the base manager and the Resources department to ensure mission alignment. I...

Season 1. Part 11 – Rewards & Recognition

October 4, 2016 • 51 mins

For most, involvement with the MarsCorp mission will be reward enough. For others we have a structured ladder of promotion to recognise and reward outstanding contribution to the MarsCorp mission. This ensures continued incentivisation for employees to work to the best of their abilities. Promotions and other rewards will be distributed at the discretion of senior management – all reward decisions are final and are not open to appe...

Employees unable to meet these standards should liaise with management to discuss resignation and repatriation to Earth at the next available opportunity. The importance of the mission means any misconduct or serious deviation from the standards set out...
