Employee Accent Reduction Classes & 3 Benefits For Your Company

Employee accent reduction classes are an important part of the onboarding process for foreign-born and LEP (Limited English Proficient) employees. Learning a new skill, job or taking on a new responsibility can be challenging enough- especially in blue collar industries like construction or manufacturing- but doing so with a limited understanding of the language can make things overwhelming, and unsafe. Every day companies hire top talent from other countries, and bring on new employees who speak ESL (English as a Second Language) who don't have any problems being understood. It is in those other circumstances, when an incredibly talented individual is brought onto the team at work, but your employees have a hard time understanding and communicating with them because of a thick accent. What do you do in these moments? Whether your company is in a blue or white collar industry, ensuring your employees can communicate effectively is vitally important for the health and wellbeing of your employees and your business. When employees are having trouble understanding, when deliverables and timelines aren't met due to miscommunication, when instructions are misinterpreted... the quality of work declines, and can even threaten physical safety. The solution to these problems involves finding an employee accent reduction class that fits your needs; and considering these added benefits, you can't go wrong!

Industry Language Training Classes For Biotech Companies

industry language training for biotech
Industry language training can make a world of difference in the success of a business- whether it be established or a start-up. When you hear "biotech companies" people often think about silicon valley and the latest cutting edge innovation that can change lives and improve health conditions. For an industry like Biotechnology- that seeks to understand and manipulate the building blocks of living things (like genetics, chemical engineering, micro and macro biology)- studies, experiments and their findings must be replicated internationally. For instance, if an engineer discovers a drug that helps reverse cancer, but their findings cannot be replicated is it really a breakthrough discovery? In addition, other countries need to be able to understand the research and findings to truly test the hypothesis, which requires language translation services. Even when conducting clinical trials, biotech engineering companies need to be aware that all participants may not speak the same language, and therefore have to make all communication (written and verbal) accessible to all. Establishing online English training programs for biotech companies and their new hires is a mutually beneficial investment for these companies and the employees they wish to extend language training to. But what does language training for biotech associates entail?

3 Blue Collar Industries That Need Onsite English Training

When it comes to blue collar industries, a significant portion of workers are ESL (English as a Second Language) speakers. Countless companies rely on manual intensive labor as part of the job description, but for some reason don't offer industry specific language training as part of their onboarding process. Blue collar work typically involves lifting heavy materials, operating dangerous machinery, and working on a team to complete a task. Out of the top 10 most frequently cited workplace safety standards of 2021, hazard communication falls at #5; according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) attributes. In other words, failure to adequately communicate job-safety risks is a very common theme with blue collar work. What is more, according to the Liberty Mutual Workplace Safety Index of 2018, United States based businesses spend nearly a billion dollars per week on OSHA violations and workers' compensation. One would logically think then, that industries employing record high numbers of ESL speakers would prioritize making corporate language training a mandatory part of their onboarding process. Whether it's a general online English training program, or corporate language training for employees- all of programs are 100% customizable to fit all of your English training needs. Customized ESL for companies allows decision makers the flexibility to change or add anything necessary for your specific goals. Whether you choose to host class online or would prefer us to come to you with our onsite English training, we provide real solutions for real companies. Need more convincing?

On Site Language Training Group English Classes diversity and inclusion
In the last 5 years, residents of Utah and other South Western states have experienced a large manufacturing boom. The emergence of these large manufacturing companies in industries like tech, construction, medical equipment and more, have made manufacturing one of the most diverse workforces in the United States. Working in these plants requires a lot of stamina and often requires operating heavy machinery that puts people in regular, dangerous situations to complete their day's work. And by employing millions of people who speak English as a Second Language (ESL) and those who are Limited English Proficient (LEP) many manufacturing workers may require a 360 approach to onboarding. For the CEOs of these companies, it is in their best interest to provide workers with training that is comprehensive enough to avoid these kinds of accidents that can bankrupt companies and destroy their workers lives forever.
