English Communication Skills in the Workplace for Specific Purposes

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.
