Task: Use the information below (which is part of your conversation with Peter Corrie, the Joint Managing Director of Suncare Ltd) and complete the Staffing Organisation Chart printed on the page opposite. “Well, as you can see, there are two of us at the top, myself and Jane Kovak. I look after the Sales and Marketing sides, as well as Production Research. All the Staff Training, Accounts and Personnel issues are handled by Jane. There's a manager for each of the six areas – lvan Korda does Sales, and his Marketing colleague is Denise Woodley. Production Research is in the hands of Miss Tanya Lowe – we only appointed her last week. We should have an assistant for each departmental area, but we're one short at present. Craig Loftus is in Sales and Siobhan Mckenna is in Production Research. We hope to replace Helen Sparks in Marketing early next week. Jane and I also have a Personal Assistant each; mine is Ursula Stein, and Julie Stableford helps Jane. Jane's three managers are Ben Schweik in Training, Carmen Velasquez in Accounts, and, let me think… oh yes, Chris Penn is the third. Their assistants are Paul Robey (for Carmen), Danielle Lefevre in Personnel, and Dan Lyons. Both teams, Jane's and mine, have the services of two Secretarial Assistants to each team. Linda Fellows works for my team, and her sister Karen for Jane’s. They share the work with Tina Glass and Ava Merrill. Ava completes my team“ Complete the Chart. (20 marks) |
