I often get questions from clients about how to effectively engage Spanish speaking employees. Sometimes those with limited English proficiency get left behind in fully understanding workplace directives, safety instructions or training methods.
We’ve come up with a few helpful suggestions for managers who work with those with Spanish speaking employees.
- State job instructions clearly and be careful about being too impatient with language barriers.
- Give employees with Limited English Proficiency time to respond.
Show employees what you need. “A picture is worth a thousand words.” - Don’t be shy about praising a job well done. Praise good work publicly and if there are any issues with an employee’s work – you need to talk to individual privately. “Saving face” is big in every culture.
- Encourage employees to take a greater role in decisions and management tasks and providing them the necessary tools to communicate more effectively with fellow employees and customers.

I recently got a phone call that I don’t get every day. It was a Training Director for a major luxury hotel chain. His first question was “Can you help me translate a manual in Gujarati?” When I told him “of course we can translate Gujarati” I heard a huge sigh of relief on the other end of the line. Although the Indian language is the 26th most spoken native language in the world, honestly we don’t get a lot of requests for Gujarati. Our network of more than 200 translators helped make this an easy request to fulfill. For our client it was much bigger. A simple training manual in a native language helped their employees understand job tasks faster and more effectively. The employees also expressed their appreciation to their supervisors for providing native language training materials. Another satisfied client but many more satisfied employees.
