Why languages matter to companies
International collaborations Successfully handling global client requests, negotiations and cross-cultural customer service requires your workforce to be confident English speakers.
Internal training programs Language training courses often become part of a company’s training program for high achievers.
Mergers and acquisitions Having English as the common corporate language will assist the successful integration of two corporate cultures.
Talent mobility Enhanced language skills within the workforce will enable your organization to remain agile and deploy human capital in the most effective way.
