For an employee transferring or traveling overseas, speaking the language is vital. Whole families frequently
take language instruction together in order to prepare for a transfer. Often forgotten, but just as important
as language skill, is cultural orientation. One of the greatest difficulties transferees face when living in a
foreign country is the host of unfamiliar traditions, customs, and social expectations. Back to Basics offers
sensitive preparation for your employees on foreign social etiquette, making their transition infinitely smoother,
and certainly less embarrassing.
Translating
The global economy has forever changed the way we do business. Translating, once a rarity, is now an everyday
occurrence. Back to Basics offers translating of business documents, employee manuals, web pages, labels,
correspondence, package inserts, and more in over 20 languages. Back to Basics is a member of the American
Translators Association.
Interpreting
Sending a clear message to colleagues in markets abroad is imperative for any business today. Interpreting
services are not a luxury, but a necessity for any company serious about profiting in the international market.
Back to Basics interpreters can be used during employee meetings, for international conference calls or to
assist visiting foreign language speakers.
Sign Language
Back to Basics offers sign language interpreting services for employee meetings and training, ceremonies and speeches.
If you recognize a language barrier in your company, your employees may benefit from English as a Second
Language (ESL) training. Are your employees hindered by limited language skills? If so, they could be making
errors due to simple communication problems. Miscommunication can result in potentially disastrous safety
mistakes and financial miscalculations. In addition, when employees can't communicate, their valuable ideas
are not brought to the attention of the management. When your employee doesn't speak English, your company's
ability to promote from within is severely limited.
Along with ESL instruction, Back to Basics offers accent reduction coaching. The ability to speak clearly,
and not only read and comprehend English, is crucial in today's competitive workplace. For any employee whose
job description includes face-to-face contact with customers or involves making presentations, this
instruction is extremely beneficial.
In addition, Back to Basics is available to assist your employees with U.S. cultural orientation. As
with transferring overseas, one of the greatest difficulties when living in a foreign country is the host
of new traditions and social expectations, plus frequently used idioms and euphemisms. Back to Basics offers
sensitive preparation for your employees on American social mores and common misunderstandings, making their
transition infinitely smoother.
The benefits to your company include increased productivity and better customer service, plus, improved
employee satisfaction, retention and morale. Enrolling your employees in ESL training, accent reduction
coaching or U.S. cultural orientation might be the best business investment you'll ever make.
