Managing Change
by Carla Douglass
Almost every company experiences change at some stage. Companies must change with
the times, adopt new technologies, and meet shiffting customer demands in order to
increase profits and stay in business. Change can be exciting, but it can also be unsrttling
and scary for employees. May employees resent change and even resist it. It is the
manager’s responsibility to make sure workplace change is as smooth as possible for
employees.
Here are some tips for an easier transition. First, make an announcement that change is
imminent so that everyone is informed at the same time. Next, give employees as much
information as possible about what the change is, who it will affect them, and when it will
occur. It’s important to give employess as much time as possible to adapt to change.
Then, encourage feedback from your employees. Employees are more likely to embrace
change if they feel as if they have a personal investment. Finally, listen to them. It’s no
them. It’s no use asking for feedback and then doing nothing about it. Make yourself
available and respond to questions quickly. Remember, employees who feed appreciated
are much more likely to work harder and care about the business as much as you do.
Câu 171
Who is the most likely audience for thics article?

B. Employees

D. Investors
Câu 172

Re: Social Media Director position

Mason,

We were all concerned to hear that you weren’t able to attend yesterday’s meeting due to
illness. I hope it’s just a stomach bug and not something more serious.

The minutes will be distributed later today, but I wanted to give you a heads-up regarding
the Social Media Director position. As you know, James wanted the base salary reduced
by 10%. He was overruled and the compensation package was finally approved. I posted
the position immediately after the meeting, as we all agree this appointment is a high
prority. By the end of the day, I had received a dozen applications, several of which are
very solid.

One outstanding candidate is Sonja Curtiss, Associate Director of Social Media at Nova
News Corporation. She appears to have the qualification and experience we’re looking for.
I set up an interview for 8 a.m. on Friday. I hope you’ll back in the office by then. If not, I
can bring her back next week for a second interview if she seems like a good fit. She’ll be
on vacation the following week, so I want the two of you to meet before then. I’ll let you
know if anyone else of her caliber applies.
I hope you feel better.

their fortune in California during the gold rush.
In 1853, he sailed from San Francision to Sydney, Australia. Gold had also been
discovered in the Bathurst area of New South Wales in 1851. We think that jacques was
unsuccessful in California, so decided to try his luck in australia. Records show that
Jacques setted in the town of Blayney and married Sarah Casey in 1859. At some stage,
he changed his surname from Weber to Veper. (This has really complicated my search!)
He worked as a blacksmith, so I guess he never discovered gold. He became an
Australian citizen in 1910, two years before his death.
Jacques and Sarah hah nine children. One of them, Blanche, is my great-great-
grandmother. I’m searching for other relatives of the Weber/Veper or Casey families. I
havesn’t been able to find out much about Sarah Casey, so please contact me if you have
any information about her.

Hi Alice,
Jacques Veper and Sarah Casey are my ancestors, too. My family is descended from
their aldest son Peter (named after Jacques’ father Pierre). I have some information about
Sarah Casey. She was born in County Carlow, Ireland, in 1834, one of seven children. Her
father was Dr.Michael William Casey and her mother was Jane Leigh. The family moved
to Dublin in 1842 where Dr. Casey ran a medical clinic. When Dr. Casey died in 1857, his
wife Jane turned the clinic into a small hotel, which she managed until her death in 1879.
his wife Jane turned the clinic into a small hotel, which she managed until her death in
1879. In 1858, Sarah and her brother Joseph immigrated to Australia. Joseph was a
lawyer and established a leagal practice in Blayney. That’s where Sarah and Jacques met.
I hope this helps. Please feel free to text me if you need further information.

Dear Simone,

My husband and I received your invoice of $8690 for catering our wedding reception on
June 4. We are very upset that the invoice exceeds the estimated cost that you provided
on February 15 ( see attached). You specifically agreed to work within our budget of
$8,000. We are disputing the following items in the invoice.
When we met with you on February 7, you said you would waive the cost of renting the
additional tables and chair that we required. Therefore, we were surprised to see the
rental cost included in the invoice. Also, you had originally agreed to provide a 50%
discount on two rooms to accommodate our partents on the night of the reception.
Instead, we have been charged the full price for two rooms. We are also shocked to see a
room service charge of $8 for a bottle of water that my mother-in-law requested.
Finally, the food served at our reception was NOT as good as the delicious food we tasted
in February. The vegetarian dish in particular was very disappionting. You did explain to
me that the vegetables would change bassed on seasonal availability. However, I
expected the summer dish to be as good as, if not better than, the winter dish. Also, the
wait staff fee is $200 higher than quoted.
In light of the above issues, we look forward to receiving a revised invoice.
Yours sincerely,
Diane Mancini

Re: Jacaranda Tours query

Dear Mr. Hirano,

Thank you for your email regarding our request to book the Yarra Wildlife Sanctuary Tour
on December 4. Unfortunately, the sanctuary is closed unitil February as it is undergoing
renovations. May I suggest the alternative tour to Philip Island, which I’m sure you and
your colleagues will enjoy just as much. As well as viewing the world-famous Penguin
Parade the tour includes a visit to a conservation park where you will be able to see many
Australian native animals, such as koalas, kangaroos, possums, emus, and wombats.

As you can see from the attached brochure, the Philip Island Tour is slightly more
expensive than the Yarra Wildlife Sanctuary Tour because of the superior accomodation.
However, sine TTV Corporation is a valued client, we are prepared to offer you and your
three colleagues a 10% discout on the overall cost of the Phillip Island Tour. Therefore, the
total amount would be $432 per person. This includes private transportation, breakfast
and dinner, one night’s accommodation, all entrace fees, and a Japanese-speaking guide.
Please let me know if you are interested in the Phillip Island tour. Tou will need to act
promptly if you wish to secure a reservation within the next two weeks as the busy season
is just beginning.

Your truly,
