__Report on working conditions of head office in Central__

3. Finding The table 4 showed the results of staff questionnaire concerning the satisfaction with working conditions. It is obvious that junior staff is less sati si fied with the working conditions. There are three main aspects regarding the lowest satisfaction

3.1 Equipment We discovered that the satisfaction of junior staff is around a quarter, which is far below that of senior staff. It appears that our computer system is outdated. Only senior staff's computer systems are kept up to date.The efficiency of the junior staff's computer system is low and it is easily attacked by vir uses. As a result, an inefficient working environment is led created. It This seriously affect s the staff morale.

3.2 Office furniture Nearly half of the junior staff are discontented with the office furniture while three quarters of the senior staff are pleased with it. We found that junior staff are provided with deteriorated and cheaper furniture. This lower quality furniture is leading to higher rate of occupational sickness among junior staff.

3.3 Pantry Only half of the staff are contented with the pantry. This seems to be because of the insufficient utensils. Also, there are complaints about the limited number of microwave s which is are frequently used by staff during lunch time. Worse still, the hygiene of the pantry is far below satisfaction as it is cleaned only once per week. The poor pantry environment is results ing in increased concern about to worrying food safety.

__4.Conclusion__ Overall, it is apparent that the general working environment is dis un satisfactory to the staff. The aspects of equipment, office furniture and pantry are the least satisfied. The satisfaction level of junior staff is substantially lower than senior staff. This is mainly because of their inferior treatment.

__5.Recommendations__ After considering the findings, the following recommendations are made: 5.1 Equipment In particular, I strongly suggest updating the computer system regularly. Also, anti-virus software is advised for improving the security. As a result, a higher efficiency can be achieved.

5.2 Office furniture Given that the higher rate of occupational sickness, continuous checking of office furniture is strongly recommended. Any deteriorated furniture should be disposed. Purchases of adjustable chair and desk are encouraged to make them more tailor made to the staff.

5.3. Pantry In view of the lack of utensils and limited number of microwave s, more acquisitions should be made. Besides, since the poor hygenic condition is worrying, daily cleaning should be adopted.
