A bit extra B 1 It’s not just the : Not long ago, British entrepreneur Richard Branson announced that he had bought an island off| the coast of Australia forall his 50,000 staff and their families to use, For employees of his company, Virgin, this must be one of the most attractive, if ther unusual, ‘benefits of the job! ‘Most company perks are more practical than this, but they do appear to be an increasingly important consideration when choosing job. Typical of these perks, but still valued. are reductions on the price of lunch, discounts on company goods or services, child-care facilities, interest-free loans and pensions and investments in the company. Particularly popular with employees is membership of a gym ‘orhealth club and private health care. Keen to reduce sickness and stress, employers have generally been happy to support this trend and the past ten years have seen an increasing demand for on-site services such as massage and yoga. However, the appeal of perks such as cars, laptops or mobiles, which used to be a measure of a person's importance in the company, is declining in favour of benefits which better reflect the priorities of modern life. Materiel possessions are not the most important consideration these days. ‘Surveys show that Spay isn't “the bevall and end-all once a person is settled in ajob, Job satisfaction and personal achievement were named as the top motivators by almost 77% of managers recently, and recognition ‘of their contribution was thought to be twice as important as a financial. reward, Christine Garner, who is head of organisational development at the Industrial Society, believes that giving staff a choice of benefits showed that a frm was forward thinking’ “Parents may want to take Sextra holidays to be with their children. Older people may want more medical benefits and younger staff may prefer additional money.” Richard Prior, spokesperson for the publishing house Redwood, thinks its the litle things that count and which are most “appreciated by staff. Last year he announced that all staff could take the day off on their birthday, as well as leave early on Fridays in the summer. “We haven't got hhuge amounts of money to invest in perks, but little gestures can make a big difference” These may also include the chance to work at home sometimes, extra leave after a child is born, and US-style duvet days, ‘when ’employees might decide to have a day’s holiday without prior notice, Other companies let workers trade in some of their salary for extra leave or give them the opportunity to take time off to study or travel with the guarantee of ajob when they return Recent research hes found that twice as many UK professionals would rather work fewer hours than win the lottery. Being able to choose when they work and what benefits are most appropriate allows employees to balance work and home life, It's fast becoming the number one perk.Apologising EET ll Pur the conversation in the correct order.

He's a blind painter Bb_Esref was born in 1953 in a *poor neighbourhood of Istanbul, Turkey, Both of his eyes failed to develop and for children like Esref, there were few opportunities for formal education. Unable to play with his friends, Faref became interested in drawing, first on walls ‘with nails* and now with paint on canvas* C Although it's impossible to say whether he had some vision as a baby, it telear that he has never been able to see normally. And this makes Esref's work extraordinary. He paints everything. from fish, fruit, boats and houses, to portraits of people, but he has never actually seen any of these things. Whats more, although is brain has never experienced light, Esref’s paintings show shadows and perspective. So, how does he do it? D__Esref has never had any formal training in painting, Instead, he says that he learned about things like colour and shadow from ‘comments by friends. He knows that each object has an important visual quality called colour, so he memorised the typical colours of things. When he first learned about shadow, he remembers, he assumed that something ted would have a red shadow! E__Esret’s work has been exhibited all over Europe, America and even in China. But his skills as a blind painter have also been the subject of various scientific studies by neurologists. The results raise some interesting questions about how the brain works. When we imagine sornething we have seen in the past, we use a part of the brain called the visual cortex - the same part that we use when we actually see soinething. Tests “show that Esref uses the visual cortex too, when, imagining objects he knows and when drawing. So despite being blind, it seems that Esref can, in his brain, ‘see’ And he does this so well that he can transfer these images into his paintings. F ask Fstef about the bieds he loves to paint.
