đ§ Corporate English : CEO & HR Conversation on Factory Issues
CEO: Good morning. I’ve been informed about some unrest at the factory. Can you provide an update on the situation?
HR: Good morning. Yes, there have been complaints about excessive working hours and lack of clarity on overtime payments. Additionally, some workers are unhappy with recent changes in break policies.
CEO: That’s alarming. Have we addressed these concerns directly with the workers or their representatives?
HR: We’ve held preliminary meetings with team leaders. However, the dissatisfaction seems widespread. A larger forum discussion might be necessary to hear all grievances.
CEO: Agreed. Let’s arrange a meeting this week with all stakeholders. Meanwhile, are there any immediate safety or compliance risks we should be aware of?
HR: There are some concerns about the factory’s ventilation system and the availability of safety gear for specific roles. I recommend a safety audit as a priority.
CEO: Noted. Proceed with the audit immediately. Also, ensure that workers are aware of the grievance resolution process to avoid further escalation.
HR: Understood. We’ll also send out a communication highlighting management’s efforts to address their concerns. It might help rebuild trust.
CEO: Good idea. Keep me updated on the progress. Let’s aim to resolve these issues swiftly and transparently. Anything else that needs my attention?
HR: That’s all for now. I’ll share the audit findings and worker feedback after the meeting. Thank you for your guidance.
CEO: Thanks. Let’s work together to restore stability at the factory. Have a good day!
