When Spanish at Work Causes Conflict: What Should Employers Do?
July 22nd, 2007A common question among employers is what to do about Spanish-speaking employees who use Spanish among each other at work, leaving the those who don’t know Spanish in the dark. LatPro provides advice on this topic.
Q: “I have several bilingual employees who speak Spanish at work among themselves. Most of my workers speak little or no Spanish, and some have complained because they feel uncomfortable when they can’t understand the conversations going on around them. How should I handle this?”
A: I am sure that the language skills of your Spanish-speaking employees were probably one of the reasons you hired them. Being bilingual is a huge advantage in today’s business world, not just for the employee but for your business because it allows your company to communicate with a larger percentage of the marketplace.
