Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? "The most important
investment for a big company is to improve the efficiency and proficiency of its
employees." Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
范文:
By investing more in improving the efficiency and proficiency of its
employees, a big company can gain more dollars through innovation. It is because
the employees' working efficiency increases productivity and their functional
proficiency upgrades quality. Productivity and quality being essential to the
game of business, there are two rules to follow-- "to give" and "to take".
A big company should provide sufficient funding that leads to generating an
efficient and proficient workforce capable of delivering products and services
that are characteristic of innovation. On the one hand, efficiency means you can
successfully complete a task using the existing time and material to the best
advantage. On the other hand, proficiency means you are skilled after training
in a certain area. From a business' point of view, investment in improving
employees' efficiency and proficiency is money well spent since it is the right
way to keep the competitive edge in a market that is becoming increasingly
global. It goes without saying that employees would feel rewarded and do their
best if they could receive financial incentives for being more efficient; and,
likewise, they would feel happy if they could get free pre-job and on-job
training programs and become more proficient at work. In this respect, "to give"
is the first business rule to follow, and certainly any big-time enterprise
cannot afford to do otherwise.
Meanwhile, the second rule is "to take". This shows that a series of
investments made by a big company to improve the efficiency and proficiency of
its employees would gradually bear fruits. If not, chances are that the company
would lose money along with fame due to the lack of efficiency and proficiency
of its employees, inevitably foreshadowing the absence of innovation. Simply
put, without the spirit of innovation, it is next to impossible for a big
business to survive and thrive. It is easy to imagine that the more seeds of
innovation a company would plant in the field, the better harvest that company
could expect to obtain in return. At this point, the old wisdom rings: "a
business only reaps what it sows".
When efficiency meets proficiency, a big company can manage to remain
playing successfully in the game. Accordingly, it is important for a big company
to innovate constantly by maintaining an efficient and proficient workface on
the payroll. So, the success of a big company is judged by the profits it takes
in and by the corresponding investments it gives out for innovation. |
