More Than Just Money

When Patricia Rochester decided to go back to school after ten years as a staff nurse at
Toronto Western Hospital,her employer not only cheered her on,but also paid her tuition
and gave her a day off with pay every week to study.Throughout her years at the hospital,
Rochester has also taken workshops on everything from coaching peers to career
development一courses that she believes have helped her advance at work."I'm now head
of the mentoring（指导）program for new hires, students and staff nurses," she says.
"There's a lot of room for personal improvement here."
Perhaps as important,Rochester says her employer supports and values her work."If
you put in overtime,"the nurse points out,"you get your meals一they'll order in pizza or
Greek food or Chinese."And if staffers feel stiff and stressed from too many hours on the
ward,they can call for a free 15-minute shoulder-and-neck massage（按摩）or even sign
up for an eight-week evening course on meditation skills and stress-relief.If that's not
enough,employees can take advantage of five family days a year that can be used if the
kids come down with the flu or an aging parent needs ferrying to an important doctor's
appointment.And they have access to a range of perks（好处）such as special rates on
hotel rooms,drugstore purchases,and scholarships for employees' children.
You might wonder how an organization can provide such resources and still survive.
But University Health Network is one of a number of progressive employers in Canada that
have discovered that investing in staff is good business.
If such initiatives help companies cut down on turnover（人员更替）alone, they're well
worthwhile,says Prem Benimadhu,a vice-president at the Conference Board of Canada.
It costs anywhere from$3,300 to rehire support staff,an average$13, 300 for technical
staff and a whopping（巨资）$43, 000 for an executive position, according to one study of
Conference Board members.
Innovative initiatives help companies attract talented employees,cut down on sick days
(which cost Canadian businesses an estimated $17 billion a year,or an average of
$3,550 per employee)and keep employees more interested in their work.With the
substantial talent shortage that already exists in Canada and the prospect of mass retirement
over the next five years一as many as 50 or 60 per cent in some sectors一Benimadhu says
that intelligent employers are putting a renewed focus on the people who work for them.

选项 Investment in staff has been motivated A:to attract the public's attention. B:to reduce staff turnover. C:to solve labor disputes. D:to show off financial resources.

答案 B
