Please note that the office will be closed again on Monday because the contractor needs more time than initially anticipated to complete the floor installation.

I have attached the relevant information so that you can review it ahead of time. Additionally, we will be looking at some recent trends in sustainable building design and construction.

Finally, I apologize for the disruption this renovation project has caused. Then again, I hope you have been seizing this opportunity to find new ways to work effectively and to enjoy work-life balance.

Questions 172 - 175 refer to the following article.

Considering Flextime?

  

by Romy Johnson

Many employees wish to work a nonstandard schedule, available through a system known as "flextime." Flextime may involve working nontraditional hours or working more hours on some days and fewer on others. - [1] - . Although commonly viewed as a benefit to workers, flextime can also benefit employers by increasing employee satisfaction, helping in recruitment of new talent, and permitting longer hours of coverage at the business without increasing the number of employees or incurring overtime costs.

Employers who are interested in such arrangements should first consider several factors. - [2] - . They include the number of workers who want to take advantage of the program, how employees' hours will be tracked, and whether flextime will interfere with daily business.

Then a policy must be created that includes details specific to the company's needs and preferences. - [3] -. Employers should revisit this information from time to time and make changes as necessary. And of course, prior to implementation, employers will want to consult with their legal team to make sure the proposed policy complies with laws concerning wages and hours. - [4] - .



172. For whom is the article mainly intended?





173. What is NOT mentioned as a benefit of flextime?





174. According to the article, what should take place periodically?





175. In which of the positions marked [1], [2], [3] and [4] does the following sentence best belong?
“For example, employers may choose to allow only employees with certain job titles to participate.”

Dear Ms. Lin,

I'm writing on behalf of the Talvix Energy Professionals Partnership (TEPP). The TEPP pairs young adults considering careers in the energy sector with engineers and executives from Talvix. Each quarter we arrange an educational trip for the program participants.

On 12 October we are planning for a group of six mentors and twelve mentees to visit the Morlen Museum. We plan to visit the Geology Lab to examine the origins of fossil fuels. We believe an in-depth tour would be quite beneficial to the mentees. Would you be able to provide us with a tour of the lab? If so, what would be the cost in addition to the ticket price? We also want to spend time at the special exhibit.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Dear Mr. Chen,

Thank you for promptly returning the paperwork relevant to your internship. You will receive your intern packet within a week. As for your inquiry about housing, I appreciate your concern that the two-hour train ride from London to your assigned location makes for an arduous daily commute. Regrettably, HJP does not provide accommodations for interns. I suggest that you contact Mr. Daniel Anders who is in charge of the mentorship program in our Bristol office. He has lived in the city for many years and presumably will have some advice about housing options there. Good luck, and I hope you will enjoy working at HJP.

Sincerely,

Padma Vithana

Dear Mr. Luzzatto:

Thank you for your call during which you went over the details of the design of the jars with us. The containers are quite unique and will certainly make Bivilla's cosmetic products stand out from those of our competitors.

After talking with my team, I have one more question. We ship throughout Europe and occasionally to Asia. Do you have recommendations regarding packing methods and filling materials for cases in which the jars are packaged? We are looking for a filling material that offers substantial protection for our product, but does minimal damage, if any, to the surroundings.

Best regards,

Birgit Villadsen

Tips for shipping products in glass containers

Overpacking is the safest method of transporting delicate items.
Overpacking simply means packing the box containing the product inside another larger box. An absorbent filling material is inserted between the two boxes, cushioning the smaller box from vibrations and movement during transit. Depending on your specific needs, any of the following materials could be used as filler.

Filler Protection Earth friendly
Recycled paper strips light + +
Plastic air pillows high -
Styrofoam packing peanuts medium - -
Expanding bio foam high + +
