Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking workplaces the imperative can feel very direct. If you need a softer tone, prepend ‘por favor’ or use the subjunctive construction ‘Sería conveniente que…’. Also, remember that ‘eficiencia’ is a feminine noun, so the article must be ‘la’, and the contraction ‘del’ is mandatory before the masculine ‘sistema’.
