2、ings of insecurity has BECome a key activity. From being regarded as relatively unimportant in many companies , management employee communication has become a central corporate need.Concordia International provides a good example of a company that has adjusted well to the changing needs for communic
3、ation . since 1995 , Concordia has been turned inside-out and upside-down, to ensure that it is a marketing led, customer-responsive business, one that looks outwards at customers and competitors, rather than inwards at its own processes and the way things were done in the past. In the last eight ye
4、ars, Concordia has reduced its workforce by more than 80.000 people - or 35% -on a voluntary basis, with further downsizing anticipated.From being an engineering company, Concordia is now remaking itself as a service company. The role of employee communication in such a context is to build peoples s
5、elf-confidence, to persuade them that, although it is inevitable that the changes will go ahead, they also bring with them new opportunities for employees. However, this is not an easy task. People tend to be skeptical of these claims and to feel that they are losing touch with the company they have
6、 worked for over many years. This is understandable, since many of the old certainties are being swept away , including the core activities of the company they work for.

7、 this predicament in a variety of ways.

8、erm perspective, with strong loyalty to their local term , rather than the company as a whole . The second category, usually the majority, may respond to threatened changes with a feeling of having been let down, and even feel anger at the company for what they see as changing the terms of their emp
9、loyment. The employee communication process needs to be capable of accurately directing its messages at a variety of employee groups and departments within the workforce . this is why middle managers and line managers are so key to communication. They are the people who know about the full rage of c
10、oncerns among the workforce. The problem in the past was that this crucial area was often the responsibility of a separate, relatively isolated unit. Concordia puts responsibility for communication firmly on line managers. All their research points to the same conclusion: people prefer to get their
11、information face-to-face from their line managers. That is the key relationship and where arguments and hearts and minds are lost.The general rule in company communication is to tell employees as much as you can as soon as you can. If you cant provide details, then at least put the news in context a
12、nd commit yourself to providing greater detail when it becomes available another rule of company communication is that there must be a fit between what the company is telling its employees and what it is telling its shareholders.15 In the last eight years, Concordia has15A made over 80.000 employees

24、易，后者很考验语言功底。21题，理解上下文的意思。前面说招人时的决定一般是在五分钟以内做出的。但是雇主们试图使自己详细相信他们在挑选过程中是经过了深思熟虑的。Convince oneself，使确信。其他的词没有这个用法。22题，员工的质量对公司的成功是至关重要的。选quality。23题，招人者试图利用一切方法来抓住这个领域最好的(人才)，secure the best，抓住最好的。realise是实现，attain是获得，后面不能接人，achieve是实现一个目标。24题，rise in popularity，固定搭配，popularity是知名度的意思，这个词组应该可以翻译成声名鹊起。2
25、5题，provides with,提供。给组织提供另外一种方法。offer的用法是offer sb sth，contribute在这里意思不对。26题，是公司能够增加价值，enable27题，这题的意思很明显，测试(testing)作为招聘过程的一个组成部分，要区分选项的几个单词，尤其是portion和component，看英英解释。Component：one of several parts that together make up a whole machine, system etcPortion：a part of something larger, especially a par
26、t that is different from the other parts这里强调testing是一个组成部分，没有说明特殊的地方，选component。28题，对每个人未来的可能表现没有一个真正的衡量。选measure。29题，fill a position，填补空位，fill在这里的意思是to perform a particular job, activity, or purpose in an organization, or to find someone or something to do this。不能选occupy，因为occupy更强调人的一种主动，而这里只是客观说某
