Corporate ESL training can do a lot more than just "teaching employees how to understand instructions." It can teach ESL employees (who speak English as a Second Language) any number of professional skills such as writing business emails, or professional phone etiquette for example. It can also be used to teach industry specific terms and phrases that a standard English training courses won't focus on. Because our curriculum is 100% customizable, we can even incorporate OSHA and workplace safety trainings so that all of your comprehensive ESL and training needs are accomplished in one place. But can corporate ESL really close the communication gap for good?
Corporate ESL training is for your entire company
We have all heard some version of the saying that "communication is a two-way street." Because communicating requires two people to work properly. So when we talk about English training for work, we can't just focus on the employees who speak English as a Second Language. Because ultimately, your investment to improve workplace communication transforms your workers, your leadership and your customers' interactions at your business. Therefore, we need to include everyone in our language training expectations. Here are some key examples of this paradigm shift in action:
Workers communicating with management
Communicating to management is a skill on its own. But when you aren't able to speak a language fluently, the idea of speaking up becomes so much harder than it needs to be. That's why so many businesses maintain professional relationships with us! Because our workplace ESL programs continue creating more professional opportunities for their limited English employees. And it all comes down to confidence, which starts with communication.
Management communicating with workers
Resolving communication issues requires looking at power dynamics. And it's hard work, that cannot happen over night. Especially in a professional setting, your managers need to invest just as much... if not more effort into developing an effective yet professional communication style. That's why we encourage a customized curriculum that is unique as your business and what your people actually need.
Employees communicating with customers
Improving customer interactions between ESL employees and customers is a big focus for a lot of our clients. It makes sense too, because a lot of businesses rely on recommendations and online reviews. English training for businesses starts with your goals: what improvements do you need to see? We then evaluate your workers current proficiency level. And we continue working with your leaders to customize a curriculum that is realistic and achievable.
Corporate English training is more than just "helping workers understand instructions." Of course, this is always a valid motivation for company owners and leadership. But in the end, investing in corporate ESL training for businesses has a much greater impact than that. So it is only fitting that your motivations adjust to the expected outcome. Because in the end, workplace ESL is bridging the communication gap between ESL employees and their management, and your customers, and your executive team.
