选项
答案Candidate A: OK. Candidate 13, You work for a company which supplies parts and accessories to a car manufacturer. You have been asked to suggest ways of reducing operation costs. Candidate B: Linking benefits to targets means that employees are encouraged to work hard and are rewarded when they do. Some of the advantages of accepting a benefits scheme for an employee are obvious. In the first instance, if the benefits are attractive, then you will have access to useful offerings such as a pension scheme or company car, without having to make these arrangements yourself. This is of particular use for utilities such as mobile phones, which can be provided as a non-cash benefit by an employer. Thus, employees will be highly motivated to put their heart into work and be more loyal to their company. Candidate A: I totally agree with you. Good incentive schemes will help to improve the business of a company with its staff’s enthusiasm in hard work, increase the focus of the company and attract more excellent talents to join it. Then, in your opinion, what incentive schemes should be taken to encourage the employees? Candidate B: Well, I think a company should offer the health and well-being insurance, transport and travel benefits, proper and timely bonuses for additional work which has been done, etc. Also, a system of honoring and rewarding those employees who have made more contributions should be set up to stimulate the staff’s working enthusiasm. Candidate A: Yes, performance-related pay is perhaps the best example of an incentives scheme. In addition, in the case of bonuses, which is also a type of employee incentive scheme, the employee may not know whether or not they will qualify for a bonus, and of what size it will be, until it is actually paid. Incentives do not necessarily have to be financial. Other popular employee incentives include paid holiday offered to those who meet or exceed targets. Candidate B: I agree with you. Also, probably flexible time of working is another good incentive scheme, especially for women workers who have children, because the staff can arrange and balance their work and family. Candidate A: Good idea.
