Preparation
Transcript
Hi, everyone. I know you're all busy so I'll keep this briefing quick. I have some important information about a change in the management team. As you already know, our head of department, James Watson, is leaving his position at the end of this week. His replacement is starting at the end of the next month. In the meantime, we'll continue with our projects as usual.
I have two more quick points. Firstly, there will be some improvements made to the staff car park next month for a few weeks. It will be closed during that time.
Don't worry, we've found a solution. We can use the local church car park until our own one is ready. If you arrive before 8.30 a.m., please use our small car park on Brown Street, and if you arrive after that, you should go directly to the church car park. It's only a five-minute walk away. But they need it in the evenings, so you have to leave before 6 p.m. Sorry about that – I know how much you all love working late!
The other thing I wanted to tell you about is that the canteen has now introduced a cashless payment system. So, you can't use cash for payments any more. You can pay directly with your smartphone or you can pay using your company ID card. The total amount put on your company ID card comes off your salary at the end of each month.
OK. That's it? Are there any questions?
thank you
I usually provide information and instructions to all members of my community regarding the schedule and the activity.
When I was in my home country, South Korea, I worked for Seoul Metropolitan as a manager. I often gave tasks to my coworkers and directions on how to deal with their tasks. It is important to let them know what they have to do and when they need to complete the task. Encouraging my coworkers to help each other was key part of my role. As a result, when our project was successfully completed on time, I was so glad and proud of my teammates.
Thanks for your information. I hope now you are happy in this job.

As a student, I think this briefing is useful because it gives clear information about changes in the workplace. The speaker explains the new parking rules and cashless payment system clearly. I think this kind of information is important because it helps everyone understand what they need to do and avoid confusion.
Nice👍
Very good
