Versant for Business
Ensure employees have the business communication skills you need
Versant

In a global economy, employees not only need to be connected and tech-enabled, but must also have the language skills to effectively communicate with customers, suppliers, partners and other employees. If your employees don't have the language skills they need, your organization can feel the pinch as language gaps will:

  • Impact customer satisfaction
  • Affect sales performance
  • Drag down employee productivity and morale
  • Cause misunderstandings that lead to operational issues

Versant for business can help you hold employees to the language standards you require for effective business communication.

  • Recruiting: Hire professionals who have the spoken language skills you need for the jobs where speaking is important for clear communication.
  • Leadership/Management Programs: Ensure employees with management potential have the language proficiency to participate in leadership development and move up.
  • Training and Development: Easily benchmark employees' language levels to correctly place them in training programs or measure learning progress after.
