Companies with a Diverse
Employee Population
Does your company have a diverse employee
population whose primary language is not English? Communication is the essential
tool to create and build a work team that can carry out both the values and
instructions of your organization. Translating materials to include this
employee population is not just good business, its essential to success.
Increased comprehension leads to increased
confidence: armed with information on how your organization works will allow
employees to feel better about their mission and responsibilities. They will
have more confidence in their daily tasks, which will reflect in dealings with
your clients.
Safety: giving instructions that are clear in
their own language will diminish the probability of misunderstandings and
miscommunications that could lead to accidents. This will protect both your
company and the employees from unnecessary accidents and the cost they bring.
Compliance and reduction in errors:
understanding processes and how they function will improve the way the employees
do their job. Knowing clearly what steps are necessary to do their work will
reduce errors and rework, saving your organization money.
Increased loyalty: the gesture of providing
information in that employee's language will demonstrate your interest in them
having the tools to do their job well. This will improve their sense of loyalty
to your company, reducing turnover and new employee training costs.
