- 根据下述材料,写一篇700字左右的论说文,题目自拟。 经常有人教育我们说:“会做事不如会做人”、“做事先做人”。这话当然有一定的道理,但仔细想想,又好像有些问题……
- 一脸“萌”相的康恩·莱维,看似与其他新生儿并无两样。但因为是全球首例经新一代基因测序技术筛查后的试管婴儿,他的诞生,受到了专家学者的关注。前不久,在英国伦敦召开的“欧洲人类生殖和胚胎学会年会”上,这则新闻引爆全场。而普通人也由此认为,人类或许迎来了“定制宝宝”的时代。 以下哪项如果为真,最能反驳上述普通人的观点()。
- What did the future look like for Britain's foodproduction at the time this article was written?()
- 分析下列论证中存在的缺陷与漏洞,选择若干要点,对该论证的有效性进行分析和评述。 “股权激励是保险公司留住人才的必要条件。”近期因推行股权激励而备受关注的华康投资咨询有限公司市场部负责人在面对记者采访时如此表示。 股权激励并不是个新鲜词,但在国内最大的保险公司“三安”上市一夜之间造就2万名百万富翁之后顿时变得炙手可热。近期,多家中小保险公司频频传出股权激励计划,包括生命人寿、民生人寿、阳光财险、合众人寿以及天平保险等,毫无疑问,它们也将获得同样的效果。 企业对于股权激励的热衷,最主要的原因莫过于对人才的争夺了。无论是高管还是代理人,频繁流动,“挖角”与“被挖”都是司空见惯的事。 规模的扩张需要人才的加盟。为此,各保险公司都想尽办法,来吸引并留住人才。除给予管理人员高薪外,从国内几家最大公司股权激励的设计中可以看出,保险公司也普遍将外勤人员纳入股权激励范围内。其实,企业如果将代理人获得股权资格的门槛降得更低,股权最好采用免费赠予方式,不需要被激励者出一分钱。股权激励方案持续时间将会更久,效果会更好。 开迪咨询公司咨询总监在大量的调研中发现,保险营销员最不喜欢的就是“被束缚”。因此股权激励的最终实现不需要附加条件,因为这些条件很可能成为这部分人拒绝股权激励的原因。 公司的股权可以让员工按一定价格出资购买,鉴于目前行业的盈利状况,保险公司完全可以采用一个较高的股权价格,因为未来保险行业会有更大的市场成长空间。员工基于未来的考虑必将会积极购买公司的股票。如果未来公司上市,这种收益将会有更大的增长。 据媒体报道,诚信财险推行的员工持股计划涉及的对象上至高管下至普通员工,采取自愿的原则进行。目前,员工持股计划推行已经结束,筹资总额约有上亿元,为企业积累了丰厚的发展资金,企业和员工也将获得双赢的结果。
