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?
You acknowledged everyone's busy schedules and kept the briefing brief, which is appreciated in a professional setting.
The information is presented clearly and concisely, making it easy to understand.
You were transparent about the changes, including the departure of the head of department, the car park closure, and the introduction of the cashless payment system.
You provided solutions for the challenges presented, such as the use of the church car park during the car park renovations and the alternative payment methods for the canteen.
The information is practical and relevant to the employees.
I give instruccions to staff in my work. I´m a manager of administration area and the people need briefing about the process.
In my job, I need to give doctors informations about patients, like for example: information about altered vital signs and possible problems related in mecanic ventilation. Sometimes, I need to give instructions about health care for the patients in hospital and in my other job in homecare.
For my job I have to give information and instructions to my students... with different results
We give information to head of department or Company's head. It is about the progross on projects or a capital information on the company.
We give instructions to our colleague or assistants to ask them to do somethings.
I think this briefing was very clear and specific. The company briefing morning showed how this company cares about time management. It gives the employees information about change management and solutions about car bark when they arrive before 8:30 when they have to leave the church car bark and how they pay in the company canteen using their company card ID or smartphone. I hope to work in a company like this one day.
Hi,
I have to give informations and instructions to my daughters about school, their chores and take care of the house
Hello, my name is Aditya Prapanca, I am a student at Tanjungpura University.
In my opinion, this briefing is clear and concise, effectively conveying important updates about the management change, parking arrangements, and the new cashless payment system. It addresses potential concerns, like the car park closure, by providing alternative solutions, which shows good foresight. Overall, it seems well-organized and informative!
When I was in college, I often provided information and gave instructions to my group mates so that they could work well. In addition, sometimes my job is to be a temporary teacher because my friends often ask me questions, so I will provide information and instructions to them so that they can improve and get good grades.
Who do you have to give information or instruction to? What is this information about?
When I red this topic, I remembered that I worked in a big company. We often get the information on our internal website. This is very good because we have the opportunity to plan our schedule and we are sure that us are reported about all important news. My colleagues adore eating in the canteen and we get a message when the canteen is closed.
