Practice Listening: Multiple Choice, Multiple Answers ID: #46030 Short Employers feedback
Instructions ›
Listen to the recording and answer the question by selecting all the correct responses. You will need to select more than one response.
Employers want to get the best work out of their employees, so they need to help them find some job satisfaction. Employers can challenge staff members by setting them new goals. They can also offer development opportunities so staff can learn new skills.

It's a good idea to give positive feedback to staff when they complete tasks effectively. This will make them feel valued. If a staff member is worried about an aspect of their job, the employer should make arrangements for that person to speak privately to a manager outside their team.
This manager should try to establish a good relationship with the staff member. Many employers see the positive side of this system. By listening to the employee's concerns and providing support, they can quickly address an issue before it becomes too big and starts to affect their work.
