Ovient English Solutions
Information for Managers
Common issues facing managers:
Do you work with a diverse team that includes members who speak a language other than English as their first language?
Is your group underperforming, not because of lack of product or technical knowledge, but because of communication issues and frequent misunderstandings?
Are some members of your team lagging behind because English gets in the way?
Are your customers angry because specifications are not followed or are not communicated appropriately?
Do you cringe when some members of your team (unintentionally) use spoken English or body language that is perceived as rude or confrontational?
Ovient English offers highly-targeted English training programs for professionals.
The Ovient Solution:
- Our programs are feedback based. We give you, the manager, feedback on the source of the problem. Is the problem really English-related, or is there something deeper? We also give the individual employee feedback and support as he or she works through complicated language issues in a way that is respectful, professional, and builds confidence.
- We use a pre/post manager survey process that ensures that you have input into any program that we develop for your individual team members.
- We use content that is relative to the workplace and immediately useful. All programs are targeted to the individual needs of the client.
- We have strict confidentiality standards, including the option to hold training at our training center to ensure that training is discrete.
- We have a pre/post assessment process, including an exit survey that the employee uses to self-assess their progress. It is important that the individual improves and that the improvement is communicated to you, the manager.
