Brainstorming (2)
集体讨论(2)
A: We’ve got to come up with a way to solve this problem! No one is getting all their work done during the work day. We need to do some brainstorming to come up with a time-management solution for our office.
A:我们得想办法解决这个问题!现在没有一个人能在工作日完成所有工作。我们需要集思广益,为我们部门的时间管理想个解决方案。
B: Well, what do you suggest? It’s not that we are all wasting a lot of time. Fact is, we’re understaffed. People just have too much to do.
B:好吧,你有什么建议?并不是大家在浪费时间,实际情况是我们人员不足。大家要做的事情太多了。
A: So you think we should hire some new people? That is one possible solution. What else could be the problem?
A:那么,你认为我们应该再雇些人吗?这个办法可行。还有什么问题吗?
B: Maybe we do have some problems with time-management. If people were always on time to work, they might get more done in the morning before lunch.
B:也许我们在时间管理方面的确存在一些问题。如果大家能保证按时上班,也许午饭前能多完成些工作。
A: That’s true. Also, maybe we could shorten the lunch break from an hour to 45 minutes. That would add a little time to everyone’s day.
A:你说得没错。另外,或许我们可以把午休时间从1个小时减到45分钟。这样,每个人每天又能多出一点儿工作时间。
B: Fifteen minutes would be good, but I wonder if it would make a big impact on the employees’ output. I still think it’s a problem with too much workload.
B:多15分钟当然好,但不知道这对员工的工作效率有多大影响。我还是认为工作量太大是个问题。
A: We ended up right where we started. Maybe it is time to look for some temp workers to help with a few projects. That would lighten everyone’s load.
