ESL training - Why it's worth it to pay for English as a SecondToday's businesses employ many multinational individuals whose technical and scientific expertise is crucial for success in the global marketplace. The challenge these employees often face is in their inability to communicate clearly and confidently in English.This prevents them from being able to present themselves and their ideas effectively. Often they have difficulty expressing ideas in clear and technically correct sentences.They can get frustrated, depressed, and sometimes even panicky.They have a great desire to find a way to more fully participate in the workplace and to understand and be understood by management, their colleagues, and clients. When this is accomplished, these individuals are able to leverage their knowledge and skills as credible, contributing, promotable members of the team and organization. The challenge that employers face is that they are often forced to slow down the pace of production to accommodate those that are not "getting it".They have a hard time promoting people through the ranks that cannot produce even though their knowledge base is phenomenal.This is a problem because companies often like to promote from within.It is more cost effective and reliable than going outside to hire.
The impact can be considerable.Employers are finding that where they used to only offer this type of training to supervisors, everyone noticed the results and they are now receiving expressed interest from employees from the ground floor as well.With ESL training programs, training moves down the hierarchy.Employees take greater ownership. They are more eager to learn and seek more information about job-specific training opportunities. Partly, this is because they become aware that the more job-specific training they get the higher their chances are to be promoted. The result in some companies is that there are waiting lists for training classes. In summary, with the multinational workforce increasing, it is becoming more and more necessary to provide on the job ESL training.This is very beneficial to companies because as you improve the confidence level of employees they tend to produce better, more profitable results.In addition companies are able to promote from within as they are able to more effectively train their employees. |
