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?

Hello, hello. I hope everyone have a good week, a nice english class, and, let's do it.

Hello, everyone
I used to be a math teacher in my country, but I am an online math tutor in my second country. I want to give some information and instructions to my students.
Hi, my students
I know you're all busy, so I'll keep this briefing quick. I have some information about a change in the meeting on Teams tomorrow morning. As you already know, the math class will start at 8:30 am and finish at 10 am tomorrow. However, it'll be cancelled as I have to pick my friend up from the airport in the meantime. Don't worry, I've found a solution.
I have two more quick points. Firstly, there will be some changes to the lesson time tomorrow. It will start at 4 pm and finish at 5:30 pm.
The other thing to prepare well for the test next week is to review the whole formula first, then do exercises (homework)
OK. That's it? Are there any questions?
See everybody

Hello, everybody.
I know you’re all busy, so I’ll keep this briefing quick. I have only one quick point. There will be some upgrades made to the staff attendance and payroll application this week. The systems will be paused for a few days during that time.

Don’t worry, we’ve found a solution. We can use the mobile application, Jibble, until our own one is ready. You need to download it from Play Store or App Store on your mobile phone.

After that, please accept our invitation email and register your face scan and click in as soon as you arrive at work. It’s really easy and saves time. But you have to click clock out before you leave from work.

Sorry about that — it’s really important. Don’t forget to click clock in and out.

Ok, that’s all. Any questions for my briefing? Thank you so much. Have a nice day.

Good morning team, I know you are all busy, so I'll keep this meeting short. I have some important information about the internal audit schedule next week. As you already know, we have an internal audit on Tuesday next week. In the meantime, we will continue with our quality checks as usual. After this internal audit, there will be some improvement made to the non-conformity area / NCR's department. Don't worry, we will having a solution by practicing the CAPA for NCR. If you find any non-conformity, please report it immediately. The other thing I want to tell you about is that new CIP form for Production Team - It apply on Monday, November 10, 2025. So, you can't use the old CIP form to recording. Ok, that is all from me today, any questions?
