Jodie Jackson - Business
Jodie Jackson in Year 9 has shown excellent understanding of remote working and applied this to an exam-style question. She has made excellent use of our marking key to ensure the recipe for success on this style of question is achieved – brilliant!
Discuss the impact on a business of remote working. (6)
One advantage of remote working in a business is employees are more motivated. (p) Therefore they are happier and will get the job done faster. (1) Meaning there will be customer satisfaction. (2) Leading to the business having a good brand image with more people wanting to purchase. (3)
One disadvantage is employees have no one around them to speak to and get help from. (p) This means they are going to feel demotivated as they feel isolated. (1) Leading it to take a longer time for them to complete their job. (2) Therefore the business will have more of a negative brand image as customers are not satisfied. (3)
Zaynah Imran - Science
Mr Rowlinson would like to add Zaynah Imran on the Praise Wall. She wasn’t able to access her school work due to having no IT facilities for a number of weeks. Since getting a laptop on Tuesday, she has nearly completely caught up with all her science tasks! Brilliant effort, Zaynah!
