Businesses need qualified people. Are you confident that your workforce is capable of copying with the challenges that everyday life in the workplace demands?

Literacy

Reading and writing English competently is an essential skill. Will employees be safe if they can't understand signs? Health and safety is an important issue. Workers work better when they feel valued and showing interest in their development can produce "home grown" enthusiastic employees who could from the back bone of any organisation.

Numeracy

So many people claim to hate maths and yet understanding basic maths is so important in any business today. A mistake in a calculation, a missing zero can be very costly. Invest in your workers and it may safe you pounds and create a dedicated workforce, keen to support the goals and targets of a growing business.

ESOL in the Workplace

Poor English language skills amongst the workforce can potentially have myriad negative effects on the safe and effective functioning of a business. Important signs are misunderstood; instructions are not followed; procedures are not implemented correctly; staff react wrongly in emergencies; individuals become frustrated at being trapped in work well below their skills level; staff potential is not tapped into; some members of staff become unofficial interpreters and are therefore unable to concentrate on their own duties; supervisors and management lose excessive time repeating instructions and checking up on staff; members of the public are irritated by staff members who cannot understand queries or complaints etc., etc.

All of these negative effects will ultimately make themselves felt on the balance sheet, as the business tries to function with reduced efficiency.

For a comparatively small financial outlay, the English skills of the workforce can be improved through an English language course specially tailored to the requirements of the individual company. Organisations which have committed to this small investment report seeing real and tangible improvements after just a few months regular tuition. Experienced, qualified teachers can come into your workplace to deliver these benefits to your workforce with a minimum of disruption to your organisation and with the positive side effect of increased staff morale as well as efficiency.
