Answer:
Ensure a senior executive is present at business negotiations
Explanation:
The action action NextStep Global is likely to suggest in order to ensure influence at the headquarters is that a senior executive is made available at round-table negotiation discussion at the headquarters so as to bring the desired influence.
The rationale for this is that the set of people whose work station is the headquarters are senior people,hence would not be disposed with having discussions with just a mere employee who cannot be said to represent the company.
Answer:
1. Which of the excluded items represent ongoing costs of running the business and which are one-time "special" costs?
it depends on the company and the actual transactions, e.g. equity based compensation might be a one time special cost because it occurred only once and is doubtful that it happens again. But if the company regularly rewards its top managers with this type of compensation, then it is an ongoing cost. E.g. Tesla awarded a HHHHUUUUUUGGGGGGGEEEEEEE bonus to Elon Musk (worth hundreds of millions) but it was a one time event. While many companies use equity compensation on a regular basis.
Severance and related employee "rebalancing" costs generally take place when a company fires a lot of people because it is cutting down some division or product line. Hopefully, they should never happen, and if they do, it should be only a one time event.
Fees paid to consultants and interest expenses are ongoing costs that will probably occur in the future.
Losses related to the abandonment of excess facility space and a facility fire should be one time events. It would be really bad for them to keep happening (same as severance and rebalancing costs)

Explanation:
Most of the times, for a company to have a funny voice mail message is NOT a good idea.
People who contact a company want to get serious service and attention, they want to talk business, buy a product/service or have their billing/technical issues addressed and so on.
However, there are a few cases when it could be appropriate... like if you're a clown company, a circus company, a TV comedy production company or a jingle company.... because humour is your trademark, that's what you do.
