In recent years more and more companies have involved in the tide of incorporating downsizing throughout the world. Downsizing is dismissing employees and reassigning their duties to the remaining ones so as to re duce costs. It is usually called restructuring, rightsizing, reallocation resources, or job separation. However it is modified, employees affected by these practices know clearly what the words mean to them laid-off. And no "kinder, gentler" words can help relieve the anxiety and distress of losing a job.
In the quest to lower costs to keep competitive, companies often make decisions with little or no regard for the well-being of the people involved. For example, in the past years in AT, thousands of managers and employees have been dismissed through downsizing, though many of them have twenty or more years of loyal contribution to the firm. Industry analysts say that if organizations wish to be considered responsible, ethical corporate citizens, they must demonstrate concern for their employees, even when they have to tell them they are no longer employed.
Careful planning and preparation can be adopted to ease the employees’ shock and stress at being laid off. It is always important to have effective, honest and timely communication. Employees who know the grave situation can prepare themselves for the inevitable and so will be much better able to get through when the misfortune falls.
In spite of difficulties to work out a best way, many firms are still trying. IBM for instance, offers early retirement. In AT’T, job search help and career counseling are offered to displaced employees. Organizations can also provide retraining programs or outplacement assistance and a reasonable severance package. Those new jobless are not, however, the only ones affected by the downsizing. It is also necessary to address the needs and concerns of remaining staff, to show sensitivity to their feeling of loss, and to deal with their worries about more layoffs. Only by so doing can an organization retain their loyalty and trust. Do responsible companies lay people off? Is it ethical to close factories? Must employers guarantee workers jobs for life? Questions about the ethics of downsizing are sure to continue. If, as most experts agree, downsizing is here to stay, perhaps the re al question is not, "Is it ethical to downsize?" but "How can companies downsize ethically?" [br] When the companies make decisions, ______.
选项
A、they often ignore the well-being of the people involved
B、they may consider the benefits of the employees who had contributed a lot to the companies
C、they need not be responsible for the dismissed employees
D、they don’t want to be considered as ethical
答案
A
解析
要点定位题。文章第二段第一句“companies often make decisions with little or no regard for the well- being of the people involved”中“little or no regard”意思与“ignore”(不理会)相近,所以可以看出A是正确答案。
