Writing Task 2: Responding to Survey Questions
Read the following information.
You are working in a company offering IT services. Your company is conducting a survey to know ways to improve the working environment. There are two options :
Option A:Give a salary hike to all the employees on the basis of experience.
Job satisfaction survey :
Option B: Give a salary hike to all the employees on the basis of educational qualification.
Dear Sir/ Madam, While I see the benefit of giving pay raises to the workforce based on their education. I believe the idea of increasing the salary based on length of service is a better choice because it gives equal opportunity to each person to work harder. Firstly, an individual with more experience will have expertise and proficiency in their performance. In other words, they require less supervision and can perform their tasks independently with minimal or no supervision. Secondly, if the worker is compensated based on their capability to perform their duties, it will motivate them to do outstanding work. Lastly, an organization needs to retain superior talent since recruiting cost is expensive for the management. Hence, if the workforce is paid according to their professional experience, it will help in workforce retention. In summary, while the thought of compensating the staff based on their education is commendable, companies must give due importance to the employment history of its people to consider the wage level. Thank you for giving us the chance to get involved in the decision-making process. We look forward to a better work climate. Kind regards, Emma
