Ders oluşturuluyor...
1
Different businesses have different styles.
2
We talk about the culture of a company,
3
and this might mean its dress code or the way in which its staff communicate with their managers.
4
Gravity Payments is a credit card processing company based in Seattle.
5
It organizes the authorizations of fund transfers for credit card transactions.
6
Its clients are retailers who accept card payments for purchases,
7
and it aims to cut the cost of processing card payments.
8
Gravity Payments, this is Corinne.
9
Gravity Payments has grown quickly,
10
from a small startup to a profitable mid-size operation.
11
Company culture changed for the hundred employees of Gravity Payments when their boss,
12
Dan Price, announced the company's minimum salary would go up to $70,000 a year.
13
Effective immediately, we're going to put a scaled policy into place
14
and we're going to have a minimum $70,000 pay rate for everyone that works here.
15
And he cut his own salary from $1 million a year to $70,000.
16
Curious if anyone has any questions.
17
Let me see if I can find that for you.
18
Corrine Ward in customer support used to have a long commute.
19
Now she can afford to live close enough to walk to work.
20
I'm able to afford, you know,
21
the cost of living in Seattle, which is incredible.
22
Gravity Payments, this is Alyssa.
23
Alyssa O'Neill used to make $21,000 a year before coming to Gravity Payments.
24
Now she makes almost $60,000 a year as a customer support representative.
25
She's paid off her car loan,
26
credit card debt, and moved into a better home.
27
It's something I never could have imagined.
28
Following the announcement, Dan Price was praised as America's best boss,
29
and the company received a flood of job applications and new client inquiries.
30
But there were negative effects as well.
31
Gravity lost a few of its most senior staff.
32
They felt their skills and experience were not recognized in the new more equal pay structure.
33
Over time, however, Gravity reported a 75% increase in revenue and 67% increase in new clients.
34
Harvard Business School researched the changes at Gravity Payments.
35
Some of their success might be attributed to increased productivity on the part of the workers now who,
36
you know, feel respected and understand that they're going to have a hard time finding another job that pays so well.
37
But it also has generated a lot of publicity and that has been good in terms of pulling in business.
38
Tom Osborne is a client of Gravity Payments.
39
To me, if they're running their business in a way that their staff feel better about being part of the company,
40
work harder with their customers,
41
to me as a vendor, that's a good thing.
42
And another good thing seems to be happening at Gravity's headquarters.
43
The staff are up to something.
44
We had tried to think of a way that we could thank Dan for what he's done for us.
45
Customer support representative Alyssa O'Neill got the ball rolling.
46
We have one more gift for you.
47
All right.
48
It's outside, though.
49
Alyssa convinced the other employees to contribute hundreds of dollars each.
50
They bought Dan a Tesla car worth $90,000.
51
Are you kidding me?
52
No. It happened.
53
It was like it was meant to be.
54
Oh my gosh!
55
I'm really surprised by his reaction.
56
Thank you.
57
In the short term, Dan Price's strategy seems to have been a success,
58
particularly in creating a new culture at Gravity Payments.
59
And only time will tell if it's going to be a long-term success or whether other companies will take the same approach.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
