选项
答案
A: In my understanding, corporate culture is virtually the personality of an organization, as it determines how things are done around here. I mean, all our decisions are guided by our corporate values. But the problem is that there are still a lot of weaknesses in our culture. B: So instead of leaving it to grow on its own, we should make efforts to reshape our culture, to nurture it into a strong one. A: Yes. Now let’s make a list of the noticeable weaknesses in our company culture: firstly in terms of our staff behavior, most employees are not quite spontaneous in communicating their thoughts and ideas with each other, particularly with line managers. This is a great barrier in promoting a culture which values innovation, creativity and trust among each other. B: Secondly, most staff members feel that their good performance has not been duly recognized. This is most unfavorable to our commitment to creating an environment that breeds loyalty and motivation. This is a very serious problem, do you agree? A: Yes. I’m quite agree with you here. Another problem is that staff members do not have many chances to get promoted, since many of our line managers are recruited from outside the company. B: And there’s another area that needs improvement: our employees complain that they’re not getting enough job-related skills development training. A: So to energize our corporate culture, we have to provide some practical solutions to these problems. So we need to provide more channels of communication among and between management and staff, do you think so? B: Yes, we can provide training programmers, outdoor events, in-company seminars, etc. , so as to increase personal awareness of abilities and complementary skills in colleagues. And in turn, this will enhance team spirit and open communication. We should also readjust and reward the commitments and talents of our employees. For example, we can offer additional benefits to excellent performers, like a paid holiday or retail vouchers. A: Good. So let’s put these down. We also need to reconsider our promotion policy and make it an incentive for our staff. We used to open up the competition among staff and make it an incentive for staff. We used to open up the competition for a position for external candidates, which reduces chances of promotion for existing workers. So our employees feel that there is little opportunity for internal career advancement. B: Yes. A fair system of internal promotion should be set up to make each individual feel included and appreciated . This environment will enable our employees to contribute to their full potential. A: Good. I think these solutions should be effective to the improvement of our core values. Follow-on questions I think the essence of a company culture should include: teamwork, mutual respect, commitment and integrity. These core values will help to create a healthy work environment and attract more talented people. In turn, it will keep us one step ahead in the competition. In my eyes, corporate culture includes such elements as core values and beliefs, corporate ethics, and rules of behavior. Besides, it can also be expressed in the company’s architectural style, interior decor of offices and by what people wear to work, by how people address each other, etc. . It can affect their employees in many different ways: the way employees interact with each other, the training and skills development they receive, their chances of career advancement, the environment they work in, the benefits and facilities they get, etc. Yes. I think it’s important for companies to employ people with skills because they will be able to take over the workload the moment they become a part of the company. You don’t have to spend too much money training them. Yes. I think onsite perks, such as coffee rooms, gyms and play room, daycare facilities, etc. are very important. You see, they show that the management really cares for people and environment. These are important incentives to boost the staff morale.
