the pros and cons of adopting flextime

选项
答案
Interviewer: Well, Fan Zhe and Wang Hao, the last part of this speaking test is a discussion task. Your discussion topic is on this task card. You have about 30 seconds to read it carefully. After you have read the task, you will have a discussion on the given topic. Your discussion time is around three minutes. OK? Now read your task card.
(30 seconds later)
Well, can you start your discussion now? I’m going to listen to you and then ask you to stop at the end of three minutes.
Wang Hao: Well, I think, nowadays, as companies become more global, with work taking place at all hours, flexible schedules, from both an employer and employee standpoint, are becoming more necessary.
Fan Zhe: I agree. If a company allows its employees to work reduced or alternative hours according to their different situations, it could help reduce their anxiety coming from the fear of imbalance between work and family, which could, to some extent, improve their performance at work. It’s actually a plus for the company.
Wang Hao: That’s true. But don’t you think there is a risk that employees won’t be connected to the office by working at varying hours.
Fan Zhe: No, I don’t think so, because technologies like laptops, e-mail, cell phones, and pagers could easily solve this problem. So your concern is quite unnecessary. But there is one problem with working flextime, especially with working reduced hours. That is, usually a cut in benefits would accompany working reduced hours. That’s a loss on the employee’s part.
Wang Hao: But I think if an employee wants to work reduced hours, he should be prepared for it. I mean, he should be well aware of that problem when he makes that decision.
Fan Zhe: Well, I think we should come to the second point. Which employees are eligible for this benefit? What do you think?
Wang Hao: People who has a long commute from home to work should be eligible for working flextime. And ...
Fan Zhe: Sure. And I think working mothers, especially those with very young children also should be eligible for it. so that they could handle a child and a job at the same time without too much pressure.
Interviewer: Do you think there’s the risk of career penalties and of being "taken off the path" for employees who choose to work flextime?
WangHao: Yes, it’s possible. Because, because
Fan Zhe: Because colleagues might consider flextime arrangements as special treatment, or they might think that an employee with flextime isn’t a devoted worker.
Interviewer! Thank you, Fan Zhe and Wang Hao. That is the end of the speaking test.
