A: Margaret, I'd like to follow up with the arrangements for our company retreat, to take place next month. We need to book the venue, make arrangements for speakers and door prizes, and set up all the activities and accommodations. Also, very important, we need to determine which of our staff will be eligible and will be available to go. We've got to get a head count in order to make reservations.
B: what's the criteria for staff to attend? Are we only including our management team in this affair? Or will we be extending invitations to lower level employees to attend?
A: lower level employees need not attend. The purpose of this retreat is for training, especially for our management team. We want to develop a well-oiled machine on our executive level. In order to get everyone to jell together, we've got to include some fun. That's the reason for the retreat.
瑪格麗特,我想讓你繼續(xù)安排我們公司下個(gè)月開(kāi)始的培訓(xùn)事宜.我們要預(yù)定會(huì)議地點(diǎn),安排發(fā)言人和獎(jiǎng)品,策劃所有的活動(dòng)和食宿安排.此外,非常重要的是我們要確定哪些員工符合條件,并且有時(shí)間去.我們要點(diǎn)好人數(shù)提前預(yù)定房間.
對(duì)參加員工有什么標(biāo)準(zhǔn)?這次只包括我們管理層嗎?還是我們也邀請(qǐng)低層的員工參加?
低層員工不必參加.這次休假的目的是培訓(xùn),特別針對(duì)的是我們的管理人員.我們要把行政管理變成一個(gè)運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)良好的機(jī)構(gòu).為了大家凝聚在一起,我們還要安排一些娛樂(lè)活動(dòng).這就是培訓(xùn)的目的.
