Language barriers

A key issue within large corporations

multilingualis

As multinationals continue to expand, employees need to communicate effectively with teams, clients, partners and suppliers in various languages.

The major risks raised by linguistic differences within companies are:

  • Poor cross-border economic relations

  • Drop in productivity, revenue and market shares

Managing this diversity has become a high priority

New technologies are needed

"The good news is that tools that help manage linguistic differences are constantly improved. Companies should use these tools if they want to take advantage of the knowledge, diversity and opportunities that come of cross-border activity. "
