单选题

Task 2From: Linda SmithTo:Clarice RyanSubject: Rcport on Employees'Use of TimeClarice, I agree that waste of work time is a serious issue. The Human Resources Departmentrecently surveyed the employees. They are wasting nearly two hours per day.Here are my ideas to reduce this waste. First we need to agree on what are the most importantbehaviors to stop. For example,look at activity No. 1 in the table below. Many people are doingthis; however, it is the most difficult to stop. Í recommend that we focus on activities No. 2, 4,and 5.Making phone calls shows the largest difference between men and women. Women do thismuch more than men. We should ask all employees to limit these calls. They should return non-urgent messages at their lunch break.For No. 4, we should focus on thc younger age group. We will tell them that we are going tocheck their work accounts for personal messages. For No. 5, we can ask managers to watch thismore carefully. Perhaps activity No. 3 should continue. This allows employees to know each otherand it can increase their motivation. The managers will know if someone is.spending too muchtime talking and not enough time working.Are you available tomorrow? I'd like to meet with you to discuss our next step.Time Spent on Non-work-related Activities＊ Percentage (%) of employees who do this three times per week or more.41.
