The current employment scenario is making the world an increasingly globalized place and it is therefore essential to develop language training routes for companies.
Today, with ALG Language Consulting we will look at language training for companies, in particular the importance of knowing foreign languages in a work environment.
How useful is language training for companies?
Both in large companies operating at international level and in smaller companies, it may be necessary to interface with foreign suppliers, customers or organizations. It is therefore important to ensure that every employee, from the manager to the secretary, is able to operate independently. This can be achieved via good language training.
In B2C or B2B negotiations, knowing a language gives you an advantage over your competitors.
Companies that purchase business language training courses give their employees the chance to broaden their professional outlook and develop added awareness of their capabilities, enabling them to carry out their role more confidently and competently. In general, investing in the members of a team promotes growth, both in professional terms and in terms of performance, and this translates into an economic return.
In addition, in some cases special funding is available for company language training due to the cultural development it offers, for example the interprofessional training funds; this is an important aspect that should be taken into consideration.
How to access this service
These services are provided by external organizations. Many cultural institutes and language schools offer this type of training.
It is possible to purchase lesson packages for employees grouped according to language proficiency. Before purchasing the package, it is therefore advisable to carry out an assessment test.
Once assessment has been completed, the company can organize the study groups which should be as small as possible so that everyone can actively participate.
