How many people work for John Lewis?1. What is the highest percentage bonus the company has paid over the last ten years or so?2. How many months’ pay is a 16% bonus equivalent to?3. How much do employee-owned companies contribute to the British economy?4. What percentage discount do John Lewis employees and their families get on most John Lewis products?5. How long has John Lewis been in business?6.Level 2 Is John Lewis the best company in Britain to work for?Jon Henley 16 March, 2010It’s just before opening time on bonus day at John Lewis and everyone is really excited. Up and down the country, the 69,000 people who work for the nation’s favourite retailer are gathered, impatient. They are waiting for a specially chosen staff member (or “partner” as they are called in John Lewis) to open an envelope and read out a number.The number will be a percentage. Over the last ten years or so, it has been anything from 9% to 22%. It’s the percentage of their salary that each John Lewis employee, from executive chairman to checkout operative, takes home as that year’s bonus. If the number is 8%, they’re looking at an extra month’s pay; 16% is two months’ pay. So what’s in the envelope is pretty important. Frank d’Souza opens the envelope in front of his fellow employees as they count down – five, four, three, two, one! He holds the card above his head triumphantly: 15%. “Magic,” cries his colleague, Lee Bowra. In the middle of the deepest financial and economic crisis since the Second World War, John Lewis clearly has not done badly (operating profit up 20%). That’s partly because it stocks goods of a certain quality and sells them to a certain kind of customer with a certain standard of service. If a product is on sale in one of its stores, you know you can trust it. You can also be sure you’ll be served by someone who really knows what they’re talking about and, most unusually of all, is eager to help.Unlike other high-street names (unlike most companies, in fact), John Lewis is owned by a trust on behalf of its employees, each of whom has a say in its running and a share in its profits. This is Britain’s largest and most respected example of worker co-ownership. Its stated purpose is not the making of lots of short-term profit on behalf of greedy shareholders, but “the happiness of all its members, through But what’s it like to work for a business run like this? Well, it’s worth noting that there are some partners who weren’t at work when the 2010 bonus was announced. They were off staying at one of the five holiday centres the partnership owns and runs for the benefit of its employees. Besides the bonus, John Lewis partners also have a generous final salary pension scheme. They and a named other (husband, girlfriend, mother, whoever) get 25% off most John Lewis products. There are half-price theatre and concert tickets and money to help pay for any educational or leisure course they want to follow.It’s not easy to find an unhappy John Lewis partner, despite the fact that they stay with the company twice as long as the industry average. That’s partly, says Wenn at theOxford Street store, “because if you’re unhappy about something, you have a responsibility to do something about it.” What does thatresponsibility mean? “We ask not only that you do your day job, but that you play an active role as an owner,” says Patrick Lewis, a partnership board member. “That you engage with your colleagues and work with them in thinkingthrough what will make the business successful.” Another factor in the firm’s success is that it believes good service can only come from people who like people, who are happydiscussing their needs and who want to help. What is important in recruitment, says Beth, who works in the furnishings department, is behaviour. “You can train anyone to do things,” she says. “But nobody can teach someone how to be .”The result of these rights and responsibilities is employees who think and feel rather differently about their work than most. The point, though, is how this different way of thinking and feeling about work works in practice. John Lewis, we’ve seen, does very well. Employee-owned companies currently contribute some £25bn to the British economy. Research indicates that employee-owned businesses also create jobs faster; are significantly stronger in an economic downturn; and deliver far better customer 123478569Level 2 Comprehension check3Are these statements true (T) or false (F) according to the text? Correct any false statements.Every year John Lewis employees are given as percentage of their salary as a bonus.1. During the global economic downturn John Lewis profits fell by 20%.2. John Lewis is owned by a private individual.3. All the relatives of John Lewis employees get a 25% discount on John Lewis products.4. John Lewis employees remain with the company on average twice as long as employees working for5. similar companies.Employee-owned businesses deliver better customer satisfaction.6. 1011So why isn’t every company organized thisway? It is partly, as Patrick Lewis points out, because it’s not easy. “We’re a commercial organization,” he says. “We have to make a ‘sufficient profit’ to maintain and develop the business. That’s a difficult task for the commercial success we need. On top of that, we distribute a share of the profits in the form of a bonus, and also in other ways, that will benefit our members collectively.” Of course, as Patrick Lewis notes, John Lewis has had 80 years to get its “virtuouscircle” working: look after the partners and the partners look after the customers, who look after the profit. “It’s a culture and a way of working,” he says. “You can’t do it overnight, and it won’t be right for everyone. But it’s worth trying.” And if we’re really talking, as perhaps we are, about where capitalism should go next – about what exactly a good company is, and what it should do – John Lewis is a good model to look at.© Guardian News & Media 2010First published in The Guardian , 16/03/10Find the word4Find the following words and phrases in the text.

薪酬体系设计方案(详细版) 公司薪酬体系设计方案目录第一章薪酬体系第二章薪酬结构第三章决策层管理人员工资制第四章中高层管理人员及一般职能人员工资制第五章营销部人员工资制第六章技术研发人员工资制第七章生产部人员工资制第八章试用期员工工资制第九章临时聘用人员工资制第十章特别奖励计划前言公司的薪酬战略定位是控制人员队伍的薪酬收入在市场中上水平,以保证员工队伍的稳定,调动员工的工作热情,并形成一定的外部吸引力。
我们将调整薪酬挂钩原则,建立基于岗位价值、人力资源价值和工作业绩的价值分配体系,使员工收入水平向岗位价值、人员素质和工作贡献方向倾斜。
同时,我们将建立职位等级制度,开辟员工横向发展跑道,以满足员工个体发展的需求,特别是在职位晋升机会不足的情况下。
在具体的薪酬结构方面,我们将分别制定决策层管理人员、中高层管理人员及一般职能人员、营销部人员、技术研发人员、生产部人员、试用期员工和临时聘用人员的工资制,并设立特别奖励计划以激励员工的工作表现。
我们相信,这些措施将有助于公司建立一个有效的薪酬体系,吸引和留住优秀的人才,提高员工的工作积极性和效率,从而为公司的发展做出更大的贡献。
调整薪酬体系,是企业管理中的重要一环。
为了保证员工收入水平的大幅度提升,同时增强薪酬的激励效应,促进公司薪酬制度与市场接轨,应该调整薪酬体系中固定收入与浮动收入的比例。
同时,引入多元化的激励模式,充分利用薪酬杠杆调节,充分调动员工潜能与工作热情。
为了满足员工多元化的需求,应该完善公司福利制度,调整福利制度的灵活性,建立在适度集中的基础上自助式的福利体系。
这样可以将福利制度引导到增强员工归属感和忠诚度、促进其个人成长的道路上来。
企业薪酬体系需要根据企业组织变革、中期经营效益以及市场薪酬行情的变化等因素进行适时调整。
这样可以保持薪酬体系的动态涨跌,促使公司薪酬制度逐步实现市场化、企业化。
公司薪酬体系包括六种不同类型:与年度整体经营业绩相关的决策层管理人员工资制、与部门管理相关的中高层管理人员和一般职能人员工资制、与营销业绩相关的营销人员工资制、与研发相关的技术人员工资制、与生产相关的作业人员工资制以及临时聘用及试用人员工资制。
