Passage 1:

To: All Supervisors
From: Andrew Kirby, Director of Human Resources
Re: Procedures for Transfers
Date: August 17, 2005

When employees request transfers to other department, you should follow these procedures:
1.     Meet individually with the employees to discuss their qualifications for the new position. Make sure they are aware of anything that could disqualify them.
2.    Do not discourage the request; our company policy is to help employees find the jobs they want.
3.     Give Form 34-12, Application for Transfer, to the employees requesting transfers.
4.   When employees have completed Section 1-5 of the form, you should fill out Section 6, Supervisor’s comments, at the bottom of the form.
5.      Attach a copy of each employee’s latest Performance Evaluation to the pink copy of the form.
6.      Send the pink copy to me. Keep the yellow copy for your reference.
7.      Employees should know the outcome of their application within three weeks.
At that time, they may review the documents and discuss the decision with you.

Passage 2:

To: Andrew Kirby (ak.humres@dig.com)
From: Malcolm Powell (mp.addes@dig.com)
Subject: Procedure for transfers
Date: Aug 19, 2005

Dear Andrew,

I’ve been going through the procedure for transfers, but I’m afraid that I don’t quite agree with everything. I have given things a lot of thought and here are my comments.

I strongly disagree with point number 2: “Do not discourage the request”. In my experience, employees have a habit of putting themselves forward for position for which they are unsuited. This is particularly a problem where the employee has the right qualifications and job experience, but lacks the right skills or personality. I think it would be very misleading not to tell an employee that they are not an appropriate candidate in such a case.

I also think that the three weeks decision-making period is far too short. Sometimes, it can take up to six weeks to gather information from other departments. Since we cannot make an informed decision without all the relevant documents, I think we should extend the period to six weeks.

Anyway, these are just a few thoughts.

Thanks
Malcolm

I am a 35-year-old with a clean driving, no traffic violation, a perfect credit record, and no criminal background. However, when I tried to apply for this rental offer, I was treated like a common criminal. I object strongly to the fact that I was fingerprinted and my prints were run through police records. All I wanted to do was to take advantage of a $15 rental discount. I had heard that Johnson’s Motors operates according to very strict guidelines, but this is ridiculous. Furthermore, my application was rejected with no explanation other than, “Sorry, you do not fit our rental criteria”. I cannot begin to imagine who you do rent cars to. I will be warning all my friends and acquaintances against using Johnson’s Motors. Sincerely, Mathew Jernsted

This long-neglected sector of the sports wear market is now one of our leading sources of income, surpassing sales of children’s goods, and while it is not yet equal to sales of men’s goods, it is fast approaching similar levels of sales. This table shows the amount of money spent on women’s athletic footwear from 1994 to 2004. For the purposes of this chart, athletic footwear is defined as footwear made for sports and fitness activities. This includes regular sneakers, as well as “functional” shoes such as running shoes, tennis shoes, aerobics shoes, and basketball boots.

Year 1994 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004

Money spent (In billions) $1.16 $1.45 $2.37 $3.55 $4.69 $4.68

A customer questionnaire was included with each pair of athletic shoes sold in 2004. Although not every questionnaire was filled out and returned, a significant number of these form were submitted. According to the results of the questionnaire, the average woman buys one pair of athletic shoes per year, and uses them for fitness activities such as walking, jogging, or cycling. The majority of respondents indicated that they chose our particular brand for the following reasons: attractive style and design, comfort and affordability. A few respondents did express regret that the range of athletic shoes for women is much smaller than that for men, and that they would like to have greater choice of styles and colors.

Họ sẽ cho bạn biết giá @@@ At a recent press conference, spokespersons for both Interlink and USnet announced that their long-standing rivalry would come to an end. The two Internet Service Providers (ISP) have made the decision to merge into one company, US Interlink. Despite the ever-increasing number of households that log onto the Internet from home, both companies posted decreased profit margins during the last fiscal year. Industry analysts attribute the decline to the surprising success of smaller local service providers. Once the merger is complete, US Interlink alone will provide Internet service to nearly 53% of all American households that currently subscribe to an ISP. The new company will be better able to focus on expanding its market share because completion will only come from smaller and newer firms. In fact, several smaller ISP companies have asked officials to look into anti-trust laws to keep the merger from happening. What is being planned for USnet and Interlink? D. They will reorganize into a single service provider Họ sẽ tổ chức lại thành một nhà cung cấp dịch vụ duy nhất Why is the change being made? A.

In response to these reports, Bennington issued a press release yesterday refuting these speculations. According to a Bennington spokesperson, the enterprise is actually flourishing. In fact, the volume of business has increased at such a rapid rate that the company does not have enough highly trained personnel or facilities to meet the demand.

It was a great success, and has led to the creation of a new Internship program this year. The personnel department has completed the hiring of interns, who are ready for their work assignments. Remember that we are working with the University Business school for this internship program. Because the internship is a graduation requirement for the students, the details of the internship must be well documented and submitted to the University for review. As such, it is imperative that supervisors outline reasonable performance goals, assign clearly defined tasks and projects, and write objective and constructive performance evaluation of their interns. At the end of the six-month term, up to five interns may be given a full-time employment offer. If you would like to recommend an intern, ensure that all of the paperwork has been submitted to the University first. Inform interns that they should discuss any disagreements regarding their performance evaluation with their supervisors BEFORE contacting my office. 1. B732. What is the purpose of this memo?  D.

Passage 1:Memo

To: All Employees From: Health and Safety Re: Employees Healt.This is not something that we have done before, but this year we have compiled a chart of all the health problems for which we have treated workers over the past 12 months. We have decided that by sharing this information, we might be able to encourage some of you to take more care in the workplace. A lot of these problems could be avoided with just a little bit of common sense. While we are glad not to have to treat most of you for anything serious, and although we do enjoy the pleasure of your company, we would rather not have to treat any of you for accidents and incidents which are entirely avoidable by following safety regulations; wearing reinforced boots to protect your toes, wearing safety goggles, keeping ear plugs with you at all times so you have them when you need them, and above all, we urge you to wash your hands before eating. Take a look at the chart and you’ll see what we mean. We’ve also divided the data by sex, so men – don’t let the ladies beat you next year! We are planning on compiling a table next year, too, so let’s see if we can really cut down those numbers. ****************** Passage 2: A breakdown of most common medical treatments needed by employees during the year 2005. Based on figures compiled by the Health and Safety Department : Health Number of cases Male Employees* Female Employees* Minor Requiring Hospitalization Minor Requiring Hospitalization Broken toes 23 2 2 0 Ingested chemicals (not washing hands after handling chemicals) 42 1 24 2 Hearing problems 31 0 13 0 Perforated ear drum 0 1 0 0 Foreign body in the eye 54 10 24 3 *Last year female employees stood at 145, male employees 156

Why does the Health and Safety department urge workers to wash their hands before eating?

B. It may prevent them from ingesting toxins

What is the most commonly occurring health issue?

C. Something getting in workers’ eyes

What is the Health and Safety department trying to communicate to workers?
