Dialogue 1

A: The company that Chad works for really takes care of him.

B: What do you mean?

A: Well, not only does he have 2 weeks vacation every year, but he also has sick leave which includes 5 optional days off a year for mental health days.

B: Mental health days? Jeeze, I wish my company had some plane like that. Sometimes the corporate world cares more about moeny than anything else. I think it's great to see some companies, like the one Chad works for, that are caring about the quality of life of their employees.

A: No kidding. Chad's company also has a gym in their office building to encourage all employees to keep fit. They provide medical and dental insurance for all full-time workers, and they also organize company social gatherings.

B: Like what kind of social gaterings?

A: Once a year they'll have a company picnic, they also sponsor a company Christmas party and New Year's party. They focus on continuing education by having 8 company-wide training events every year, and encouraging staff to apply for conferences and training meetings outside the company.

B: Wow, the welfare of the employees seems top priority to management...

A: Needless to say, company morale is very high....

Dialogue 2

A: Thank you all for coming to our monthly staff correlation meeting. Today we have a lot of new things to introduce to you all, there will be a lot of changes in company policy to accommodate better employee welfare...

B: Employee welfare? What all does that include?

A: In the past, our welfare program has consisted of benefits packages only, meaning partial health insurance coverage and retirement plan. But we hope to boost morale by increasing incentives and adding additional welfare considerations.

B: What kind of considerations are we talking about?

A: It is proposed that from now on, employees will be given 10 paid sick days, in addition to their 2 weeks vacation periods. They will also be couraged to maintain proper physical health with a company sponsored aerobics class on Friday nights. We have also consulted with the human resource department and have hired a new liaison between management and employees. Let's all welcome Ms. Michelle Cain to our team as our company's ombudsman.

B: Our company now has an ombudsman?

A: Yes, that's right. From now on, whenever you have a question or concern regarding anything that happens during the work day, Ms. Cain will be your advocate. If you believe there is anything inappropriate or unfair in the management practices, the ombudsman will be the first person you seek. She will maintain fairness, equality, and an orderly and efficient work place. Her job is to have your best interest at heart.
