Percakapan 2
Edwin and Sarah are discussing ways to improve the happines of employees
at their company.

Edwin : I think we need some new policies or program for motivating
our staff.
Sarah : I couldn’t agree more. We could really use a boost in morale,
a lot of our co-workers seem pretty miserable.
Edwin : Absolutely. It would be great if there was a system of
bonuses based on performance.
Sarah : I suppose so ... but there isn’t much extra money in the
budget for staff bonuses.
Edwin : You’re right. Maybe we could allow staff to choose between a
monetary bonus and extra vacation time.
Sarah : That’s a great idea. I bet the staff members with families
would really appreciate the option.
Edwin : There’s no doubt about that. And I also think we should have
more celebrations in the office - birthday and maybe holiday
party are short of thing. This place is too serious most of
time.
Sarah : I feel the same way. Not only would liven up the office but it
would also help form friendships among the staff members.
Edwin : I agree 100%. Let’s write up some of our recommendations
and present them to the vice president.
