Task 1 (b)

 

Differences in the workplace

 

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.

 

 

There are many rules and regulations at work.  You usually sign a contract when you first start work.  This gives your terms and conditions of work.  It explains how you must behave, the work you must do and how long you must work.

Mentor Discussion Point: How do contracts work in the industry that you are interested in? What kind of conditions do employers stipulate within these contracts? Are they different for this industry than for other industries? Discuss these with your mentor.

What is expected of you in the workplace is frequently different from what is expected in your home or school. For example you may think it is acceptable to swear at home, but find that in most places of work it is unacceptable and may eventually lead to dismissal.

Some young people smoke and drink alcohol with their friends were they live but know that would be breaking health and safety regulations if they did this at work.  If you make sexist or racist remarks to others at work you could be dismissed.

Mentor Discussion Point: Most contracts will also cover legislation concerning Health and Safety as well as Equal Opportunities legislation. These are outlined here. Discuss with your mentor to what extent these pieces of legislation are applied in your chosen industry.

At college or school you may not always have followed instructions but if you do this constantly at work you 'get the sack'.  At home you can wear casual clothes but in some places of work you may have to be dressed smartly or wear a uniform with a company logo or wear a hard hat and steel toe capped boots.

Mentor Discussion Point: Does the industry you are interested in entering have specific regulations which apply only to that industry? To what extent do these differ from the regulations that you have as a student  or a child?

 

 

 

Using information in the passage and the discussions you have had with your mentor outline the differences between work and non-worklife for someone working in the Creative Industries.
