1 Bailey’s is a large toy manufacturer based in a traditional industrial region. Established in the 1970s, it has faced many changes in the market and survived. This has been due in part to employing a largely unskilled low paid staff,and maintaining its main advantage, that of low production costs based on low pay. Most of the production involves repetitive and boring work with little challenge and opportunity for innovation. Although many of the employees havebeen with the company for some time, there has been a high level of employee turnover.However, an unhappy atmosphere has been apparent for some time. There has been a number of instances ofarguments between the staff, friction between different departments, disturbance, low morale, poor production and general unrest, made worse recently by a decline in business which may lead to staff reduction and redundancy. Poor pay is leading to family problems that are affecting the commitment and motivation of the employees.The business was recently sold to the new owner, Rebecca Stonewall. She is concerned that the negative atmosphere she has found will harm the prospects of the business and is determined to address the issues that have become apparent.She has therefore decided that it is time to take account of opinions and views of the employees in an attempt both to identify the problems and to resolve them. She has appointed external counsellors since she thinks that a programme of individual counselling might be appropriate and is also of the opinion that some form. of different or improved approach to motivation might be the answer to the problems at Bailey’s.Required:(a) Define the role that the external counsellor must fulfil at Bailey’s.

资料:Gone are the days of “one-size-fits-all” employee benefits programs and here come newly designed and fully customized voluntary benefits. Voluntary benefits are on longer looked at as just a few “extras”, and are now becoming part of a comprehensive benefits package. Lot's take a look at how voluntary benefits have become more customized to meet the requirements of a more particular health care consumer.Voluntary Benefits Bolster Recruitment and Retention EffortsIt gives employees a chance to select extras that the standard health care plan doesn't offer, which can be highly attractive to today's consumers Employers can also use voluntary benefits to round out their health care plans with a menu of items that cover everything from family vision care to pet insurance. This helps companies to address the specific heath and financial needs of candidates, to help the stretch their future paychecks even further.The Advantages of Offering Voluntary Employee BenefitsIn terms of being adaptable to the needs of employees, there are very few benefits that are like voluntary plans. Voluntary plans cover many of the gaps that traditional health benefits do not cover. For example, a health care plan may require dental services for minors, but not for adults. The voluntary dental program can cover things like routine cleanings and other preventative measures that help support good oral health. Customizing Voluntary Benefit PlansThere are several areas where voluntary benefit plans exceed the customization options of other types of wellness and financial benefits. This is a continual trend that we will see more of. Financial wellness benefits can include budgeting software, company matched savings plans, employee purchase programs, discount cards, credit union access, and even short term financing to help employees who otherwise cannot get credit to purchase things they need. Some companies offer support for buying of leasing vehicles, pay off college loans, arrange for special discounts and deals on home rentals and purchases, and even provide access to tuition for college expenses.It can be inferred from the passage that, comparing with the traditional health benefits, voluntary plans______A.incur less cost by the company to offer benefit programs.B.cover many of the gaps that traditional health benefits do not cover.C.help employees who are dealing with tough personal and career matters.D.encourage employees to stay with their companies for longer periods of time.

问答题Practice 10  Every British citizen who is employed (or self-employed) is obliged to pay a weekly contribution to the national insurance and health schemes. An employer also makes a contribution for each of his employees, and the Government too pays a certain amount. This plan was brought into being in 1948. Its aim is to prevent anyone from going without medical services, if he needs them, however poor he may be; to ensure that a person who is out of work shall receive a weekly sum of money to subsist on; and to provide a small pension for those who have reached the age of retirement.  Everyone can register with a doctor of his choice and if he is ill he can consult the doctor without having to pay for the doctor's service, although he has to pay a small charge for medicines. The doctor may, if necessary, send a patient to a specialist, or to hospital~ in both cases treatment will be given without any fees being payable. Those who wish may become private patients, paying for their treatment, but they must still pay their contributions to the national insurance and health schemes.

问答题Practice 2  Now many countries find themselves still struggling with problems that are as old as man himself. Basic social problems such as poor or nonexistent health care, and nutrient-deficient diets continue to annoy developing countries, contributing to low life expectancy rates and hampering economic development.

Indeed, in the solving of age-old problems more economically, advanced societies have found themselves facing new social problems, problems that are a direct outgrowth of their economic advancement. One such problem is that of aging.
