Read the text and answer the question below.
After talking to Anna, Brian comes up with the following first draft for the policies:
Policy Update Draft
To align with our flexible work model, the policy no longer includes fixed in-office days. Employees can choose their work location, as long as they meet their responsibilities.
We have added new communication guidelines for remote work. Team members should check in daily via our company platform and respond to messages within a reasonable time during work hours.
The annual leave request system has been simplified. Employees will now complete a short online form that goes directly to their manager for quick approval.
We also encourage all employees to take part in professional development. Courses, workshops, or learning new tools are all ways to grow skills. Managers will support team members in choosing useful learning paths.
These updates will be reviewed by team leaders next week. After that, the final version will be shared with the whole company.
What will be easier now with the new annual leave request system?
To get more vacation days added to the calendar.
The number of vacation days hasn't changed.
To take time off by using a faster and simpler process.
To change the company policy on leave requests.
Employees don't change the policy.
To stop asking managers for permission to go on leave.
Requests still go to managers according to the updated policy.
