Business Relations

Your business relations with domestic and foreign partners are fundamental to the development of your company. Your company’s image and its position in the market are directly related to the quality, not the quantity of your contacts. A company is made by the people behind it, their potential, and its partners.

Language audit

In many companies, foreign-language competence is a necessary asset. Maintaining business relations on an international scale requires fluent, on-going communication. Many companies invest their resources in language-training courses for their employees, and foreign-language testing and evaluation procedures are a necessary part of the hiring process and the subsequent development of employee qualifications. It can, however, be very difficult to assess the effectiveness of the language-teaching program or course, as well as to motivate your employees to continue to expand their foreign-language language skills. A language audit is the perfect solution.

The advantages of the language audit

What does a language audit involve and what are its advantages

A language audit consists in evaluating language competence before and after a language course. The initial level of competence of the course participants is established before the course, and is then compared with the resulting competence level upon completion of the course. Importantly, the evaluation focuses on items necessary for the practical application of the foreign language skills in everyday work situations, rather than the employee’s grammatical competence. Because the audit is conducted by a neutral third party, it can be trusted to provide reliable, objective results. The management receives concrete proof of the progress achieved by the course-takers. As a result, it becomes possible to assess the real value and benefit of the investment into the language training course, and consequently, to decide whether to continue or abandon the course, plan out more suitable employee education schemes for the future, or decide on a different course-provider. Because of this, a language audit can be an invaluable aid in the cost-effective strategizing and implementation of your HR projects.

The language audit facilitates and accelerates a range of human resource management decisions, including:

The selection of candidates with the desired foreign-language competence level in the process of both external and internal recruitment
Employee promotion
Employee participation in international conferences and workshops conducted in a foreign language
The selection of employees with the foreign language competence level necessary for a given project
Strategizing the future development of the managerial staff

Additionally, a language audit conducted on a regular basis can motivate the employees to learn. The initial foreign-language competence level assessment carried out in the auditing process makes it possible to establish what competence level the employees should reach in the time allotted for the course. This motivates the employees to gauge and adjust their progress accordingly, in order to reach the goal set during the initial assessment in the time they have. As a result, your employees will be more dedicated to actively participating in the learning process, and they will be more aware of the actual progress they are making. The language audit is thus not only a means of motivating the course-taker to learn, but it also induces the teacher or trainer to realize that both the company and the course-takers are serious in their dedication to the training course. As a result, a language audit has the additional advantage of motivating the trainer to maintain a consistently high-standard, organized teaching process.
