Working for Google is a dream of many, not just because of what this company has achieved in the last 15 years, but because of its enviable work culture. With about 37,000 employees in 40 countries, you might wonder how Google maintains a motivating work experience throughout its entire company.
Working for Google comes with perks that most other organizations can’t provide – bowling alleys, free haircuts, gym memberships, and shuttles to and from work. The company’s secret to success is putting the same amount of time and effort into keeping employees happy as it does into innovating products.
Back when the company was just a start-up, co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin had the goal of making Google a place the most talented people wanted to work at. Their idea was simple: creating a work culture that keeps employees happy will motivate them to do their best and will keep them loyal to the company.
“It’s less about the aspiration to be No. 1 in the world, and more that we want our employees and future ones to love it here, because that’s what’s going to make us successful,” said Karen May, the Vice President of people development at Google.
Google also makes its employees want to work because managers provide tasks that are inspiring and challenging. Every employee at Google has the opportunity to spend 20% of his or her working time on a project they choose. This freedom takes employees out of their routine and away from the mundane tasks that often make workers feel uninspired about their jobs.
Lastly, Google shows each employee just how important he or she is to the company. Each employee, regardless of her spot on the totem pole, has an influence on how Google performs.
“If you value people, and care about them as whole people, one thing you do is giving them a voice, and you really listen,” May said.
Google does just that by hosting employee forums every Friday, where they discuss the 20 most-asked questions. Employees have access to all company information, adding a sense of trust, and employees and leaders work together to solve problems.
21.
How would you describe Google?
答案:Large global enterprises.
22.
Which of the following belongs to the methods that Google motivates its employees?
答案:Offering entertaining equipment in the workplace.
23.
Who founded Google?
答案:Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
24.
What can we learn from this passage?
答案:Google employees have the chance to get away from mundane errands.
25.
What is Google’s secret to success?
答案:Valuing the happiness of its employees as well as innovating good products.

Communication Failure
Communication is about conceiving, sending, receiving, and interpreting messages as well as confirming reception of these messages. A failure at any point in this chain can result in ineffective communication.
In a business, there are three main types of communication failure. Each has its own indicative signs.
The first type is known as allocative failure. This occurs when a firm is not gathering enough intelligence about its market or (most often), the information is not reaching the right points. The firm will not be allocating resources in step with the shifts in demand. If demand is rising but the firm is suffering from allocative communication failure, then stocks will fall and there will be understaffing. If the inverse happens, there will be a surplus of stocks and overstaffing.
The second type is executive failure, where communication to trigger specific events/actions is either late, lacking, or in error. The symptoms of this are a general loss of direction in the company or departments, a loss of co-ordination and an increase in complaints from customers as things happen late or not at all.
The final type is human failure. This occurs when the general culture of a business or the relationships between particular individuals or departments do not foster effective communication. This leads to alienated staff, an increase in staff turnover, an increase in absenteeism, and general frustration among staff. Creativity, especially that which takes place across departmental boundaries, is likely to suffer hugely as team synergy slips.

答案:×

Write a composition of at least 100 words on the topic of Effective Communication. Your writing should include the following:
(1) The importance of effective communication.
(2) How to communicate with people effectively.
答案:
Effective Communication: The Bridge to Understanding
Effective communication is vital in personal and professional life. In families, it builds trust and resolves conflicts; in workplaces, it aligns teams and boosts productivity. Socially, it bridges cultural gaps, fostering empathy.
To communicate effectively, practice active listening—give full attention and respond thoughtfully. Speak clearly, using simple language and logical structure. Show empathy by understanding others’ perspectives. Ensure nonverbal cues like body language and tone match your words.
Effective communication is about connection. Valuing it and using these strategies strengthens relationships and creates harmony.
