2.1 Bailey’s is a large toy manufacturer based in a traditional industrial region. Established in the 1970s, it has faced many changes in the market and survived. This has been due in part to employing a largely unskilled low paid staff,and maintaining its main advantage, that of low production costs based on low pay. Most of the production involves repetitive and boring work with little challenge and opportunity for innovation. Although many of the employees havebeen with the company for some time, there has been a high level of employee turnover.However, an unhappy atmosphere has been apparent for some time. There has been a number of instances ofarguments between the staff, friction between different departments, disturbance, low morale, poor production and general unrest, made worse recently by a decline in business which may lead to staff reduction and redundancy. Poor pay is leading to family problems that are affecting the commitment and motivation of the employees.The business was recently sold to the new owner, Rebecca Stonewall. She is concerned that the negative atmosphere she has found will harm the prospects of the business and is determined to address the issues that have become apparent.She has therefore decided that it is time to take account of opinions and views of the employees in an attempt both to identify the problems and to resolve them. She has appointed external counsellors since she thinks that a programme of individual counselling might be appropriate and is also of the opinion that some form. of different or improved approach to motivation might be the answer to the problems at Bailey’s.Required:(a) Define the role that the external counsellor must fulfil at Bailey’s.

  • 第20题:

    问答题
    Practice 5  ‘Mini presentation’—about 6 minutes  In this part of the test you are asked to give a short talk on a business topic. You have to choose one of the topics from the three below and then talk for about one minute. You have one minute to prepare your ideas.  A  WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…?  Selecting a secretary for the general manager  ● Qualifications  ● Related work experience  B  WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…?  Cancelling a business meeting  ● Making an apology  ● Reasons for cancellation  C  WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…?  Motivating staff  ● Bonuses offered  ● Pleasant working environment

    正确答案: 【参考范例】
    If you choose topic A:
    When selecting a secretary for the general manager, we must first of all consider if he or she has the qualifications needed. A candidate with adequate knowledge of office skills and public relations will be an ideal one.
    Related work experience is also of great importance. A skilled secretary can accomplish the office work quite satisfactorily. People with little experience sometimes will inevitably feel confused when dealing with the complicated relationships around the general manager.
    In addition, the secretary should have a good personality because a good character will help a lot in smoothing the communication with the general manager and other staff members.
    If you choose topic B:
    When cancelling a business meeting, firstly an apology for the cancellation is necessary due to its effect on the participants’ schedules and the inconvenience it has caused to others. A business meeting is not supposed not be easily cancelled if there are other alternatives.
    After the apology, you should give the participants reasons for cancelling the meeting and make it convincing and sincere. Normally, participants will show their understanding and tolerance if the thuth is told and the attitude is acceptable. In case some participants have already arrived at the meeting venue or on the way to it, there should be an another plan to compensate for the time and financial loss of the participants.
    Finally, new dates for the meeting should be set so that the participants can be better prepared.
    If you choose topic C:
    I believe that we all know the significance of motivating staff to increase their productivity and their contribution to the company. The inspired staff is more likely to enjoy the job and work more actively. There are various ways to motivate staff, of which giving bonuses is quite effective. Occasional stimuli of money will drive the staff forward.
    Plus, a pleasant work environment is also very important in motivating staff since people like staying in a clean and tidy office where they can work more efficiently. A well-equipped office will help staff do more meaningful and creative work.
    In addition, team spirit and trusty colleagues can also contribute in motivating staff.,which will always make everyone enjoy the work.
