FUN AT WORK
Are they great ideas or just crazy? Here are some
ways that companies keep their employees happy.
EZ sport can be a good way for busy workers to
relax. Wright, Newman & Fischer, a group of lawyers
based in London, has a small golf course in the office.
The first part of the course is on the fifth floor, When
your ball drops down the ninth hole, the course
Continues on the fourth floor. An even more relaxing
Sport is bowling. Maybe this is why a company called
Permatech has a complete bowiing alley in the
basement. The employees go bowling after work and
really enjoy it.
E_ what about alternatives to boring suits and
‘company uniforms? One company has ‘fancy-
dress Fridays’. On the last Friday of every month,
each department chooses a theme and the workers,
‘dress up accordingly. One department came as
famous actors, with the boss dressed as Brad Pit.
‘Another department chose historical figures; there
were three Julius Caesars and two Genghis Khans!
‘And how about this idea from a company called
LineHut, in Paris: they hold moustache-growing
competitions for employees and customers!
For men only, of course!
E])_ some companies like to take their employees
out of the office. Finchley Management takes
its workers on a trip every year. The workers go to
the airport, but they don’t know what country they
are flying to! Trips in the past have included Rio
de Janeiro, Bangkok and the Bahamas. In another
company, Wicked Shakes, the staff go on free skiing
holidays. And if workers stay with the US-based
Indulgence Swiss Chocolate Company for five years,
they get a free trip to Switzerland to taste
the chocolate!
Read the text again and answer the questions.
Find words in the article that match
these meanings.
1a place where you can go bowling
(paragraph 1)
2. a room in a building that is below the
level of the ground (paragraph 1)
3 other possibilities (paragraph 2) _
4 clothes that everyone in a company or
group wears (paragraph 2)
5 important or famous people from the

6 visit to a place (paragraph 3)
