SPEAKING 2

TANIA: Good morning colleagues we are meeting because aour company is in a huge problem: The productivity has fallen significantly, the workers are unhappy, our quality is poor and we losses thousands of euros each month. Also our reputation is badly damaged.

Let´s start, we need to decide the best option. Tell my Thiers ideas?

IVONE: We can give a pay increase toa ll the workers. If we do this, the workers will be happy and they improve their productivity. What do you think about that?

TANIA: Is bad idea because need to high cost and our capital is low.

KARLA: What about reduce the level wich workers can earn a productivity bonus.

TANIA: Thats better idea. Do any have other opinions?

ME: Instead of we can appoint a new production manager.

ZURI: Why not cut labour costs? But not recruiting any new workers when people leave.

TANIA: Ok, is time to decide. The better option is Karla´s. Are everybody agree?

ALL: I like that.

MEMO.

To: Staff of Scrutons Ltd.

From: Jorge Alvarez Directir Manager.

Subject: The sales are falling because the workers are unhappily.

Date: 9th Aprii.

You want information about which is de best option because the company have a huge problem. The productivity has fallen significantily, the workers are unhappily, our quality is poor and you lose much money each month.

You have four options:
Give a pay increase to all the workers (this would cost €500 000).
Reduce the level at which workers can earn a productivity bonus (this would cost €300 000).
Appoint a new production manager.
Cut labours cost (e.g. by not recruiting any new workers when people leavel).

I think that the best option for the company is the number two, “reduce the livel of the productivity bonus”.

If you reduce the livel of the productivity bonus, our workers will happy and work very well, and the quality to improve and you won’t lose much money.

The most important is that the cost (€300 000) is cheaper than pay a increase and all the workers will be agree.

If you have any problems or questions about it, please contact me at my office.
