Many organizations are coaching executive leaders for better success, but how many are looking at affecting performance where it really counts? By delivering leadership development in Spanish, this case study shows how a concrete construction company was able to meet frontline level, English language learners where they are to promote improvement.
The Hispanic/Latino population is currently the United States' second largest racial or ethnic group according to the US Census Bureau. Although English proficiency is on the rise, families are fighting to preserve their native tongue fluency and cultural heritage since it is also a great asset and benefit in the world. Due to this language diversity, many of our nation's organizations may experience that their workforce has limited English language skills and low literacy. This challenge can ultimately pose a risk to areas such as safety, quality, performance, and innovation. Many institutions are having a hard time meeting this need because of the lack of well-trained interpreters and culturally competent employees.
Join us to:
- Determine if there is a need for English Language resources in your training and development deliveries
- Develop a plan for translation and delivery content
- Determine if coaching is a viable option for your organization
