Transcript
Hi, everyone. I know you're all busy so I'll keep this briefing quick. I have some important information about a change in the management team. As you already know, our head of department, James Watson, is leaving his position at the end of this week. His replacement is starting at the end of the next month. In the meantime, we'll continue with our projects as usual.
I have two more quick points. Firstly, there will be some improvements made to the staff car park next month for a few weeks. It will be closed during that time.
Don't worry, we've found a solution. We can use the local church car park until our own one is ready. If you arrive before 8.30 a.m., please use our small car park on Brown Street, and if you arrive after that, you should go directly to the church car park. It's only a five-minute walk away. But they need it in the evenings, so you have to leave before 6 p.m. Sorry about that – I know how much you all love working late!
The other thing I wanted to tell you about is that the canteen has now introduced a cashless payment system. So, you can't use cash for payments any more. You can pay directly with your smartphone or you can pay using your company ID card. The total amount put on your company ID card comes off your salary at the end of each month.
OK. That's it? Are there any questions?
I think this briefing was very clear and specific. The company briefing morning showed how this company cares about time management. It gives the employees information about change management and solutions about car bark when they arrive before 8:30 when they have to leave the church car bark and how they pay in the company canteen using their company card ID or smartphone. I hope to work in a company like this one day.
Hi,
I have to give informations and instructions to my daughters about school, their chores and take care of the house
Hello, my name is Aditya Prapanca, I am a student at Tanjungpura University.
In my opinion, this briefing is clear and concise, effectively conveying important updates about the management change, parking arrangements, and the new cashless payment system. It addresses potential concerns, like the car park closure, by providing alternative solutions, which shows good foresight. Overall, it seems well-organized and informative!
When I was in college, I often provided information and gave instructions to my group mates so that they could work well. In addition, sometimes my job is to be a temporary teacher because my friends often ask me questions, so I will provide information and instructions to them so that they can improve and get good grades.
Who do you have to give information or instruction to? What is this information about?
When I red this topic, I remembered that I worked in a big company. We often get the information on our internal website. This is very good because we have the opportunity to plan our schedule and we are sure that us are reported about all important news. My colleagues adore eating in the canteen and we get a message when the canteen is closed.
As a parent, I enjoy giving information and instructions to my kids about their studies and other things
Who do you have to give information and instructions to? What about?
Everyday me and my best frind go out walking together and talking about different things like what happened today in our jobs and new events around and interesting news if any.. so i have to give instructions to him everytime before meeting about where we should meet and where we will go and what the major thing we will talk about to look if it worthy or not to go out and meet for.
