  9. Part 7: Reading Comprehension - Single Passages

  10. Part 7: Reading Comprehension – Double Passages The biggest challenge facing businesses today is not taxes, government regulation or access to capital, but a labor shortage. About half of small businesses are looking to hire someone, and more than 50 percent encounter hiring difficulty. About half of the companies looking to hire someone end up choosing an employee less qualified than they originally thought. Meanwhile, not having had profit-sharing system, these companies face another grim trouble－experienced employees’ job-hopping problem. It makes labor shortage more serious. Rock Brand believed that by sharing profits with all staff he is treating them the way he would treat a partner. Employees who are treated as partners begin to act like partners in their interactions with customers, suppliers and their own management. Partners are empowered people, and thus staff begin to feel empowered and do their duties more seriously and ardently. The idea of profit sharing was actually quite common when Rock Brand started doing it in 1999. In later years, however, Mr. Brand would identify this practice as being the single best thing the company had ever done. At first, Rock Brand thought he would provide profit sharing opportunities to his managers only. His young brother managed to persuade him it would be better to offer profit-sharing to all employees, even part-time employees. He suggested this would encourage everyone to think and act like an integral part of the business rather than being only employees. Rock Brand saw the wisdom in this idea and started placing a fixed percentage of Supertech’s profits into a pool that was then distributed to all company employees. According to the Supertech profit-sharing plan, the company contributes about 7 percent of each employee’s wages into a personal profit-sharing plan account. When the employee leaves the company, he or she is entitled to take whatever is in their account either in Supertech stock or in cash. In addition, employees can also earn an incentive or bonus as an extra percentage of their wage based on performance. Employees may also receive a holiday bonus is based on their length of service with Supertech.
