ENGLISH FOR HISPANICS IN THE WORKPLACE
English
Communication Skills in the Workplace for Non-English Speaking Hispanic
Employees
DESCRIPTION:
Each workplace whether it is a manufacturing company or a service
provider, has its own specific vocabulary.
Employees communicate with each other using a particular job
related lingo. In any
workplace, effective communications is essential to the success of the
organization. Errors caused
as a result of misunderstood communications are costly.
The challenge is even greater when another language is spoken in
the workplace.
In
the United States there is an enormously strong presence of Hispanic
workers who have limited English speaking skills.
Millions of Hispanics are gainfully employed in almost every
sector of industry. They are
a powerful presence in maintaining and keeping the productive wheels of
America on a steady and competitive course.
Today’s
workplaces have Hispanic employees from Mexico, San Salvador and 15
Central and South American countries.
The language barriers may create a communication and cultural
divide between English speaking Management and Spanish speaking Front
Line workers.
