TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目
段落
Man: Hi Sarah, I wanted to discuss the proposed team reorganization. We need to streamline operations.
Woman: I read the initial proposal, David. I think restructuring the department will enhance efficiency, but I have some concerns about how the new roles will be filled. Especially regarding the new project manager position.
Man: I understand. That's where the new employee orientation program comes in. We need to ensure whoever takes that role is thoroughly onboarded. We're considering Michael from accounting, but he'll need comprehensive training specific to project management.
Woman: Michael's a solid choice, but his lack of direct experience could be a challenge. Have we considered an external hire? Also, what about the junior roles? Will they be promoted or will we need to recruit?
Man: We're leaning towards internal promotions for the junior roles to incentivize the existing team. However, the project manager role is critical. We might need to open it up externally if Michael doesn't demonstrate sufficient aptitude during the initial weeks of his potential transition, which our updated onboarding process will closely monitor.
