答案Question 2 Sample C Report on decreasing number of staff using our company canteen Introduction This report aims at examining the key reasons why our employees prefer other lunch venues as in comparison to our company canteen. Findings Since sometime it became evident that most of the company staff chooses to go outside in order to have their lunch. Although motivation to do so might be very different there were 3 main factors contributing to such decission making process. Firstly, there are plenty of other options available. Our company is located in the heart of the city with many restaurants offering wide range of attractive lunch menues. All of these places are within a 5 minutes walking distance from our premises. Second reason, often mentioned, was that the meals offered in our canteen are much too expensive and of a relatively poor quality. Additionaly, many employees pointed out that the menue does not offer any variety. Thirdly, it came to our attention that the service staff was very slow and not always friendly to our staff. Recommendation After closely assesing the situation it is recommended to take the following below highlighted steps in order to motivate our staff to eat in our company. We will need to look into appointing a new catering company. Preferably one with a wide range of "healthy food" on their offer, such as salads, fusion food or bio-drinks. We can attract our employees by introducing a new concept of good quality food(i.e. sandwitches "custom made" for each employee from the components he/she chooses)for a reasonable prices. Our canteen needs to become trendy so that staff will once again choose to stay indoors instead of going for a lunch in the city. We should also refurbish the interior of our canteen. Perhaps few appealing accessories and a friendly colours combined with modern design would make the desired difference. Conclusion We should set up a meeting to discuss viable options. Choice of a new catering company should be based on their ability to deliver the desired "cost-quality" equasion, so that our employees are convinced that our canteen is the best place for their lunch break.

Last but not the least, our canteen offered a few kind of food to be choosen. In conlusions & Recommendations: From the 5 findings, there are a lot of space to be promoted: 1. Suggest the canteen sector offer a delivery work. Open their number, so as to our staff can order and eat in their tea & coffee room. 2.

THE COURSE CONTENTS The participants of the course will get an opportunity to learn a wide range of business related vocabulary as well as they will be taught how to deal with business correspondence professionally.

SKILLED EMPLOYEES AS A FACTOR OF DEVELOPMENT Mr Dowbor is a young employee, but he has already proved to be very determined and to have outstanding interpersonal skills. He has been working for us for two years. At present we do not have employees with a knowledge of business English in our company. An employee with such skills will give us a chance to develop our contacts with foreign customers and suppliers. PROBLEMS TO BE OVERCOME Mr Dowbor will be absent from work for 3 months. The way to solve this problem can be employing someone as a replacement for this period. We are looking for people in other sections in the company, so if the person is good at his job, we can transfer him to another section later.
