Mini-presentation

生活節(jié)奏快,公司工作壓力大,員工終日忙碌和奔波會(huì)對(duì)自身和公司帶來許多不良影響。因此近年來,許多企業(yè)為了讓員工保持身心健康,會(huì)采取各式各樣的方法。完善福利制度,如: 醫(yī)保福利(Health care benefits), 派發(fā)購物卷(Retail voucher),定期有搞笑人員(Joy Gang)到公司表演,公費(fèi)旅游(Junket tour),設(shè)立咖啡屋(Coffee break)等等,讓員工放松心情。下面,我們一起來看看這個(gè)例子?

What’s important when…?
Coping with a heavy workload 應(yīng)對(duì)繁重的工作需要考慮哪些要點(diǎn)?
Benefits system 福利制度
Time management 時(shí)間管理

Coping with a heavy workload, I deem companies can introduce more benefits programmes to help employees cope with stress and keep health. Managers recognize that stress can result in stress-related illnesses, such as high blood pressure, ulcers, and fatigue. These illnesses translate into higher benefits costs for the company as employees more frequently use health care benefits. Therefore, companies can provides a free health clinic as well as an eldercare program that helps employees locate nursing care facilities for aging parents and offer wellness and exercise programs to help employees alleviate stress and enhance their health at the same time.
應(yīng)對(duì)繁重的工作量,我認(rèn)為公司應(yīng)該采用更多利制度去幫助員工舒緩壓力和保持身體健康。管理者們意識(shí)到壓力會(huì)導(dǎo)致相關(guān)疾病,如高血壓、潰瘍病和疲勞癥。這些疾病轉(zhuǎn)而成為公司更高的福利費(fèi)用支出,因?yàn)閱T工會(huì)更加頻繁地使用醫(yī)療服務(wù)。因此,公司可以提供免費(fèi)醫(yī)務(wù)室和養(yǎng)老計(jì)劃,幫助員工為年邁的雙親安排敬老服務(wù)?;蛘咛峁┛祻?fù)和健身計(jì)劃來幫助員工減緩壓力、增進(jìn)健康。

Time management is also important. Companies can provide training programs to help employees better manage their time. In this way, employees will become more organized and feel more at ease with their routine work.
時(shí)間管理也很重要。公司可以提供培訓(xùn)來幫助員工更好的管理他們的時(shí)間。通過這種方法,員工將變得更加有組織能 力,并且在日常工作中感到放心。

To sum up, companies providing these services does not pretend to look good to the community or because they are financially successful, but perks and fitness are a necessity.
公司提供這些服務(wù)不是假裝為了向社會(huì)作秀,或者因?yàn)樗麄冐?cái)大氣粗,而是因?yàn)樵黾咏蛸N,促進(jìn)健康是必不可少的。
