W////////H//////////////////////////////H/////////////////////////////H//////////////////,W///////////////H Englishfor the 21st Century • Unit 10 ~


Problem1 - bad backs.We were told that managers
should check sitting position of people in dept in
relation to screenand keyboard,but it seemsto me that
this might be more relatedto the design of the furniture
- the desksand chairsare uncomfortable to use.
Problem2 - headaches.At the meeting,we were told
that managersare to makesureemployeestake regular
breaksso that they don't spend more than an hour
in front of the screen.They arealsocohaveregular
meetingswith staff,and avoid shouting at them(!).
Relationsbetween you and the staff arevery good,
but perhapsthere aremore basicproblemsof staff
managementin other departments?
Problem3 - sleeplessnights.Wewere told that the
causesarestressand overwork.Again,this is not a
problem in our department,but the new rule is that no
one should be in the office after 7 p.m.But how to avoid
people taking work home?
