选项
答案A: You see, our company are currently discussing about a formal orientation program for new staff. People’s opinions are various. Some are enthusiastically for it, others are violently against it, and still others stand between them. What’s your opinion? B: In my opinion, to get new employees off to a good start, providing them formal orientation is necessary and important. Since formal orientation will get them familiar with the organization, their work units and their jobs. A: I cannot agree more. The more time and efforts we spent in helping new employees, the more likely they are to identify with our company and become valuable members of it. B: Precisely. Besides, a well-planned orientation program is effective in helping to retain and motivate employees. A: In addition to motivation, there are still many other benefits, like increasing productivity, reducing the new employees’ anxiety, improving employee morale etc. . B: So it’s really worthy to put effort and time on the paneling of the orientation. A: Of course. Firstly, it is essential to consider topics to be covered while planning. B: Yes. We should introduce our company’s history, company’s purpose and strategic goals, a brainwork of job-related tasks, specific job goals and descriptions, appraisal criteria... A: And job duties and responsibilities. Discussing responsibility can give the new comers a clear idea of their future job and obligations, and can help them on the right track in no time. B: Yes. Besides topics, what do you think of methods of organizing and presenting them? A: They cannot be ignored either. Effective methods ensure effective orientation. For instance, it would be a good idea for the supervisors or other managerial personnel to arrange co-work. To welcome the newcomers and show them around the premises. B: Good idea! Showing the new hires around the premises will give them a concrete map of the whole company, and get them familiar with the layout of the organization. Familiarity with the premises undoubtedly contributes to the efficiency of their future job. A: Furthermore, showing the new hires around the premises will give the new staff a sense of being valued, which results in retention. Follow-on questions The training of foreign languages, such as English. The globalization of economy and the wide-spread international cooperation all need the bridge of a common language. And English is one of the most widely-used languages. A full-time training is preferable. Because it allows the employees a complete range of time to focus on learning. Without the interruption of work, they can concentrate on acquiring new knowledge and skills, thus they can get effective training. Yes. Colleagues should be treated equally. Their knowledge and skills need to be improved. It’s difficult to predict. It depends on the development and reputation of the external agency, on people’s attitudes towards training agency, on the finance of the companies, etc. . Yes. Using external agency to train staff involves a great deal of investigation and can be risky. An inexperienced external agency will not only cost time but also waste money.
