Employee English lessons can be used for a number of different purposes. Of course, the primary reason is to improve your employees' English proficiency, but you can also improve their negotiation skills as a result. In an industry like construction, knowing how to negotiate is essential; not only for coworker conflict resolution but for developing and maintaining healthy client relationships as well. For business owners, investing in English language training programs for ESL workers is as much about your business or brand, as it is about the employees who represent it. You can have the best product in the world, but it won't matter if your brand becomes synonymous with poor customer service.
Language training online can be a very useful tool for business owners and decision makers in any industry; regardless of whether you work in a blue or a white collar industry. By putting you in the drivers seat, we can provide a 100% customizable learning experience for your employees. Blue collar industries like manufacturing and construction prefer to host onsite English classes to incorporate a highly specific set of vocabulary and safety trainings, that are better understood in a typical working environment with heavy machinery. Other decision makers find it better to host online corporate English classes through our easy-to-navigate web portal, where your employees learn from experienced instructors in real time, through a LIVE webinar classroom portal.
