Embracing Diversity & Inclusion: Advancing Business Success in Local and Global Settings
The workforce today is more diverse than ever before. According to recent research from the U.S. Census, the number of people in the United States that spoke a language other than English at home nearly tripled from 23.1 million (about 1 in 10) in 1980 to 67.8 million (almost 1 in 5) in 2019.
Furthermore, based on the 2019 data, between 30-50 percent of those individuals that are in the workforce had not yet mastered English.
It is evident that despite the widespread globalization of the workplace, organizations have yet to adopt a standard practice of providing multilingual training for learning and development.
