第一則：賴清德施政滿意度創新低 民調亮紅燈
賴清德總統上任即將滿一周年，最新民調顯示，53%的受訪者對其施政表現表示不滿，僅37%給予正面評價，創下歷任總統周年不滿意度的最高紀錄。
調查指出，20至59歲的族群中，幾乎有六成對施政表現表示不滿。滿意度偏低的原因包括：對台灣安全感的擔憂、社會分裂的感受，以及能源政策帶來的供電不穩定性。這些因素共同影響了民眾對賴清德的信任。
Lai Ching-te's Approval Rating Hits New Low
As President Lai Ching-te approaches his first anniversary in office, a recent poll reveals that 53% of respondents express dissatisfaction with his administration. Only 37% give a positive evaluation, marking the highest dissatisfaction record for any president at this stage.
The survey indicates that nearly 60% of people aged 20 to 59 are unhappy with his performance. Reasons for the low approval include concerns about Taiwan’s security, feelings of social division, and instability in power supply due to energy policies. These factors collectively impact public trust in Lai Ching-te.
第二則：中國男子偷渡台灣事件引發熱議
一名中國男子於五月初駕駛橡皮艇從福州出發，經9小時航行抵達桃園並插上五星旗，隨後在抖音上發布2段影片，聲稱是接到媽祖聖旨才偷渡來台。海巡署證實影片未經偽造，但網友質疑其臉部未見曬傷，懷疑是否為擺拍而非真正偷渡，而其真實性仍在調查當中。
此次事件可能加劇兩岸緊張局勢，影響台灣的國土安全。為應對未來類似事件，海巡署計劃爭取經費建置高科技的紅外線熱影像系統，以提升防範能力。
Chinese Man's Illegal Immigration to Taiwan Sparks Controversy
In early May, a Chinese man drove a rubber boat from Fuzhou, reaching Taoyuan after a nine-hour journey, where he raised the Chinese national flag. He later posted two videos on Douyin, claiming he received a divine order from Mazu to illegally enter Taiwan. The Coast Guard Administration confirmed the videos were not fabricated, but netizens questioned why his face showed no sunburn, suspecting it was staged rather than a genuine illegal crossing. The authenticity of the incident is still under investigation.
This event may escalate tensions across the Taiwan Strait and affect Taiwan’s national security. To address similar incidents in the future, the Coast Guard Administration plans to secure funding for a high-tech infrared thermal imaging system to enhance its preventive capabilities.
第三則：非核家園啟動 首日供電亮黃燈
隨著5月18日核三廠正式關閉，台灣進入「非核家園」，當日台電用電儀錶板亮起黃燈，顯示供電吃緊，引發熱議。台電表示，當日白天備轉容量仍在10%以上，供電狀況良好，呼籲民眾無須擔心。
然而，隨著核電的退出，未來用電的隱憂仍然存在。台電指出，未來將需要依賴更多的綠能來彌補核電缺口，期待2026年綠能發電可以達到20%。此外，政府也計劃加強電網的安全性與穩定性，以確保民眾和產業的用電需求得到滿足。
Nuclear-Free Home Initiative Launches with Power Supply Alert on First Day
On May 18, Taiwan officially entered a “nuclear-free home” as the Third Nuclear Power Plant was shut down. On that day, Taipower’s power usage dashboard displayed a yellow light, indicating a tight power supply, sparking public concern. However, Taipower stated that the operating reserve during the day remained above 10%, ensuring a stable power supply, and reassured the public not to worry.
However, with the exit of nuclear power, concerns about future electricity supply still persist. Taipower has indicated that more reliance on renewable energy will be necessary to fill the gap left by nuclear power, with the expectation that renewable energy generation will reach 20% by 2026. Additionally, the government plans to strengthen the safety and stability of the power grid to ensure that the electricity needs of the public and industries are met.
第四則：如何讓員工主動參與變革？關鍵在於溝通與試錯
讓員工積極參與變革一直以來是許多管理者的挑戰，事實上要達到這樣的目標可以透過以下技巧。第一，應從小規模試錯開始，降低風險並創造成功案例提升信心。其次，策略溝通必須轉化為各部門能理解的語言，以提升共鳴及參與意願。員工一旦知道政策有利於他，抗拒就會減少許多。
最後，建立上下協作的機制，培養及優化變革文化，讓員工視創新為正式任務而非額外任務，最終促進企業的整體發展與效率提升。
How to Encourage Employee Participation in Change? The Key Lies in Communication and Trial and Error
Encouraging employees to actively participate in change has always been a challenge for many managers. In fact, achieving this goal can be facilitated through the following techniques. First, start with small-scale trial and error to reduce risks and create success stories that enhance confidence. Second, strategic communication must be translated into language that all departments can understand to increase resonance and willingness to participate. Once employees realize that the policies benefit them, resistance will significantly decrease.
Finally, establish a collaborative mechanism to cultivate and optimize a culture of change, allowing employees to view innovation as a formal task rather than an additional one, ultimately promoting overall development and efficiency within the organization.
