Marc: Hi, I’m here for the onboarding.

Laura: Welcome to the group! Did you manage to read the employee handbook?

Marc: Yes, and I got the welcome package, too. Thank you so much!

Laura: Haha, everyone loves the company merchandise! Have you familiarised yourself with the company policies?

Marc: Yes, I have. There was a lot to go through!

Laura: I know, but it’s important you know them all. Here is a copy of your job description.

Marc: Thanks. I got it via email, too.

Laura: And here is your login for the intranet. You can change the password to something more personal.

Marc: I’ll do that as soon as I’ve settled into my workstation.

Laura: Excellent. Your co-worker will explain how everything works and your line manager will take you through the training programme.  Any questions?

Marc: Oh, plenty! But first I’d like to meet my colleagues.

Laura: Of course! We have arranged a lovely team lunch, so you can get to know each other. Let’s go!

NOW  LET’S  REVIEW  THE  VOCABULARY!

Onboarding is the process of integrating a new employee into an organisation.

An employee handbook is a manual that details the company’s policies, procedures and values.

A welcome package contains materials and information for new employees, to help them feel welcome and comfortable, as they settle into their new role.

Merchandise refers to branded promotional goods, like T-shirts, mugs and pens.

A company policy establishes a set of rules and expectations. Typical policies include code of conduct, health & safety, compensation, equal opportunities, and attendance.

A login is a password or code used when logging in

An intranet is a private network used within a company to share information and computing resources like software and communication tools.

To settle into means to start to feel comfortable in a new situation.

A line manager is a person who directly manages a team or department and its day-to-day operations.

Plenty means more than enough.

A team lunch is a midday meal with colleagues, where everyone can relax and strengthen relationships.

Creationism: Was Darwin Wrong?

¿Y si Darwin estaba equivocado? ¿Y si el universo fue realmente creado por un acto de Dios (en seis días) hace no más de 10.000 años? Eso es lo que creen 4 de cada 10 estadounidenses. La teoría del creacionismo está ganando terreno y se enseña en muchas escuelas.

The U.S Rhode Island: The Ocean State

Más de 100 playas, grandes mansiones señoriales y una capital muy animada, todo en una superficie diminuta. Rhode Island es el estado más pequeño de Estados Unidos... ¡y el más italiano!

Me, My Selfie and I: The Institute of Art and Ideas

La mayoría de nosotros tenemos un yo online, una imagen que construimos a menudo con la ayuda de numerosos selfies. Pero ¿qué relación tiene con nuestro yo real? ¿Puede esta obsesión con la imagen conducir a la felicidad, o pone en peligro nuestra propia identidad y las relaciones con los demás?
