Questions 155~157 refer to the following email.

From: Jenny Morgan, General Manager
To: All staff members of the HR Department
Date: October 2

On October 5, a group of students majoring in international marketing, supply chain management and graphic design are visiting our corporate headquarters. Originally, I will give them a general tour of our company. However, I just received the news that our main rival was negotiating a contact with our biggest supplier, so I will have to fly to see the CEO of our supplier to ensure delivery and strengthen the relationship between us one day before the visit of the students.

I would like the students to be divided into three small groups. Now that our HR Department has a staff of three, I also would like each of you to lead one group. You will show them around in the Marketing Department, our main factory and laboratory, and the Information Technology Department respectively. After all the students gather at the conference room and watch the demo video on our corporate culture, they will have lunch at the cafeteria at our company’s expense. Next, I’ve assigned the CFO, Mrs. Parker to give the students a speech so they can become familiar with the financial incentives to work for us.

This is a good opportunity to gain a reputation and more importantly, to become an ideal company where university students desire to work as an intern.

Best Regards,
Jenny Morgan

Questions 172~175 refer to the following article.

What is job satisfaction? There is no single answer to this question as it can mean different things to different people. Generally speaking, however, job satisfaction refers to the degree of happiness that an individual feels in their job.

Various factors can affect the level of job satisfaction. First, a recent report revealed that working from home has become a requirement for work happiness for a significant portion of the workforce. Second, professional development opportunities are an important consideration for many modern workers, younger generations like millennials especially. Another survey showed that close to half of the workforce wishes that employers would provide better opportunities for advancement. Moreover, the current top motivation for leaving a job, a recent Flex-Jobs survey reports, is a lack of work-life balance. Of over 4,500 respondents, 68% shared that they would consider switching positions, and 56% cited the main reason for thinking about a career change to be a switch to a job or field with a better work life balance. Furthermore, according to a study published in the Harvard Business Review, while outside factors such as job availability may influence an employee’s decision to leave a company, culture and personal and professional fulfillment can lessen these forces and convince team members to remain in current roles.

The conditions for job satisfaction shift with time and societal changes, and it is important for companies to regularly workforce happiness and adjust culture and benefits accordingly.

Questions 191~195 refer to the following email, quotation, and invitation card.
To: Samuel Stocking＜isamuel@wanpunestate.com.nz＞
From: Connie Hurst＜connie_hurst@fashiondesignersguildnz.org.nz＞

Dear Samuel Stocking,

Thank you for the tour of the venue yesterday. Although the hall is spacious and has a gorgeous, calming feel, I think the location seems not easily accessible by public transportation and parking facilities nearby are lacking. Besides, your offer did not impress my supervisor, the head of the Fashion Designers' Guild. Before the final decision is made by this Friday afternoon, I am wondering if you can make a special offer or if you can suggest another place suitable for our two-day member convention on a better location, and more importantly, at a competitive price.

I am looking forward to receiving your new offer and suggestions. Be quick in order to let the offer be discussed in tomorrow’s meeting.

Sincerely yours,
Connie Hurst
