Why start an English language program at your company?
1. It pays off.
Training has a positive effect on productivity.
A 1995 National Employer Survey found that increasing educational
attainment by 10% in a company's workforce improves productivity — 8.6%
in the manufacturing sector and 11% in the non-manufacturing sector.
2. It increases worker loyalty.
Language proficiency is a top factor in retaining and
promoting refugee and immigrant workers in the Seattle area. Employees
have a greater chance of educational success if the classes come to
them.
Workers appreciate employers who invest in them.
3. It benefits the entire company.
When non-native English speakers gain confidence in their language skills, they interact more with native English speakers. The result is a workplace that's more enjoyable — and more efficient.
