Candidate A=A Candidate B=B
A: Well, relocation will concern practically all the employees. One of the concerns might be the effect of the changes while their main concern is to remain in the position. They are concerned about issues like salary, working conditions, cultural differences, and so on as well.
B: Yes, it is natural that they might be worried about their job. If business relocates, they’ll have no choice but to move to a different place. Actually, some of them will be earning less, while some others may be earning more than before.
A: That’s true. I think many employees will face redundancy or feel nervous about changing job.
B: I see what you mean. Some may feel threatened by redundancy if our company relocates to new premises. Although most of the staff may be not happy with the decision made, some of the employees might be pleased with relocation for they are looking forward to working overseas, which can offer them a once in a lifetime opportunity to live, work and build friendship in a quite different environment.
A: Right. This experience will also provide them with a chance to widen their outlook on life, appreciate cultural differences and develop new skills. But I think the company needs to employ fully qualified professionals who are resourceful, and sensitive to cultural differences.
B: In addition, being flexible is also an extremely important quality. They need to be able to imagine themselves happily adjusting to new codes of behavior and dressing, different food and even opening hours. What about the perks for working abroad, do you have any ideas?
A: Well, those to work overseas will be offered a comprehensive package, including free travel, subsidized accommodation as well as a general local salary.
B: Sounds a good idea. Anyway, I think the company will have to be careful about relocation, for the failure of a big action will have a knock-on effect throughout the whole company.
A: Well, I am still doubtful about relocation. Some people may ask: what’s the great attraction? Why is our company so eager to relocate to new premises? Suppose what we are going to say to answer these questions?
B: Well, what I can say is that relocating to new premises could be a good thing and it all depends on the circumstances of the company under discussion. It can be anything from better access to overseas markets, less labor costs, lower taxes,, quicker delivery or even a combination of any of these.
A: You’re probably right. However, it would be fair to say that the financial benefits are the main motivation, wouldn’t it?
B: Under most circumstances it probably would, yes. Without them, I believe very few companies would be interested in that. Considering our position, I think our priority is to do some market research. We need to know something about our customers and suppliers. How suppliers and customers might be affected by the relocation? Any ideas?
A: I’m not certain about what response we may receive from the existing suppliers and customers. The important issue is if the relocation will damage their confidence. Once the company has lost the confidence of the customers and suppliers, it will be very difficult to win it back.
B: Anyway, it is somehow inevitable that the company will lose some old suppliers and customers in the course of relocation. In that event, positive actions need to be taken on the part of the company to restore confidence of the suppliers and Customers.
A: Yes, we should make recommendations not only to boost moral of the employees, but also to attract customers and suppliers. You must use some advertising gimmicks to please the suppliers and customers.
B: Let’s work together to make a good proposal, shall we? First, I would propose that we conduct a survey among the employees to find out views about the relocation, and then we can pick out the thorny problems.
A: Sure. And a customer survey should also be carried out in order to get the possible responses from the suppliers and customers, and after that we can work out solutions to the problems.
B: Well, let’s get started with the findings…
