Introduction. Guests and Consultants

Guests and Consultants

If you have a new employee, guest, or consultant working at your company for a day, week, or longer, be sure that that person has the resources and information that he or she needs to do the job.

Give a consultant or guest the same type of workspace as an employee at your company in a similar role. A consultant who is there to do programming should have the same size cube, type of computer equipment, etc. as an employee programmer would have in your company. This prevents your employees from feeling looked down-upon, and the consultant from feeling singled out or treated as second-rate.

A guest from a regulatory agency will tend to want to know what’s “really” going on in the company. By treating him or her like everyone else, (instead of isolating them in a plush office in a far wing, for example) will raise less suspicion and enable them to get the information they need more efficiently.

Appoint an employee to be a ‘buddy’ to a guest or consultant to ensure that they are introduced around, “shown the ropes,” and have someone to help resolve little logistical problems that may arise.

Theme 8. MEETINGS

Meeting is an event at which people meet to discuss and decide things, often in a formalized setting. People can come together physically (face-to-face meeting) or communicate at different locations (teleconferencing). In organisations, meetings are an important vehicle for human communication.

Translator can participate in meetings as interpreter, member, chairperson or minute writer. So, you have to improve your skills of handling meetings so that they run efficiently.

Meetings are often held in conference rooms, around conference tables.
