1Good morning and welcome, everybody.
2I'm Jenny Stewart
3and I'm the Staff Manager here at the exhibition centre.
4We're expecting this year's International Travel Exhibition
5to attract over 10,000 visitors a day, ladies and gentlemen,
6and you are among the 200 extra staff recruited to help look after them.
7Now, to help things run smoothly,
8we have divided you into four teams -
9the blue team, the green team, the red team, and the yellow team.
10So first, I'll explain how the teams are divided up,
11and then we'll be giving you colour-coded T-shirts so we can identify you more easily.
12First of all, those who will be looking after the phones
13and handling all calls regarding the exhibition,
14you will be on the red team.
15Now, we've also put the entrance staff on the red team
16and you'll be stamping the entrance tickets and giving out publicity leaflets, okay?
17Those of you involved in distributing entrance tickets will be on the yellow team
18and we've also put those of you who'll be staffing the information booths around the conference centre on the yellow team, so...
19you'll be getting a yellow T-shirt.
20Now, most of the hospitality staff have been put in the blue team,
21so the chefs among you and the kitchen hands will all need a blue T-shirt, but...
22because of the sheer numbers,
23all waiting staff will be on the yellow team,
24and this includes the bar staff among you.
25Those who will be monitoring and directing the traffic in the car parks are on the green team,
26so you'll need to get a green T-shirt.
27This year, we've also employed a considerable number of attendants
28to direct the human traffic around the conference centre.
29Now, you'll be working in the exhibition hall at all times,
30giving directions and generally helping people whenever you can,
31and you will be in the red team, so please collect a red T-shirt.
32Right, now that everyone knows what team they're in,
33we'll get on with the orientation and training programme
34and first, I'll run through the rest of today's programme,
35which you should have in front of you,
36so that you can get a general idea of what else is in store today.
37This introduction finishes at 9.30
38and then you'll be hearing from Anne Smith.
39Anne works in the accounts department on level two
40and she looks after all temporary staff,
41and so she is the person to see if you have any problems regarding pay.
42Anne will be explaining when and how you get this.
43She will also be handing out your tax forms.
44And I will just stress that all tax forms must be completed
45and returned to Anne before your pay can be processed.
46Following Anne's talk you'll hear from Peter Chen, our Conference Manager,
47and he will be going over a plan of the conference centre with you,
48which will help you to orient yourselves.
49He will also go through the security arrangements with you
50and show you the fire exits.
51Then at 10.30,
52there will be a coffee break in the staff canteen,
53which is located down on the ground floor.
54Now, after the break,
55we'll be moving to a different location for a video presentation,
56so instead of coming back here,
57we'd like you all to go to Lecture Room 311.
58You'll find it on this same level, just down the hall,
59and there you will be shown a video about important safety issues in the workplace,
60called Safety at Work.
61We'll finish off the morning with lunch,
62which should give everyone a chance to meet and get to know each other,
63and we'll be serving you a buffet lunch in the Main Hall,
64which is on the first floor, from 12.00 o'clock.
65After lunch, you'll be divided up into your teams to meet your team leaders
66and we're hoping to be all finished by 3.00, so...
67I won't delay you any longer...
