The intent was to teach a group of staff members the basics of survival workplace Spanish, so as to better serve our diversifying constituency. We were fortunate enough to have Ed as our instructor, and it was an absolute treat! Throughout the 10 week course, Ed constantly engaged us in the Spanish language without making it threatening. Ed made the learning fun, applicable, and very straight-forward to a group who had very limited, if any, exposure to the language. The services we received were also provided at a fantastic value. We finished the course feeling confident in the use of the language, and all the "students" raved about the class. I highly recommend the services of Workplace Languages! Logan Martin · Community Development Specialist · City of Oakdale ### Border Foods Co.'s > We have worked with Ed Rosheim at Workplace Languages for over 9 years now. We have offered Spanish speaking classes for Senior Management Team, our Multi-Unit Managers and Restaurant Managers to enable them to more easily communicate with their restaurant teams. We have offered English speaking classes to our team members. Ed’s passion for teaching and speaking Spanish and the methods he uses make the learning easy and quick. The concentration on conversational Spanish enabled students to start using key phrases immediately. > > The return on investment is almost immediate as the entire organization is made more efficient with better communication. The ROI is measurable since the key team members that have taken the ESL courses and then subsequently been promoted are all management team members that would be empty positions today or filled by much more expensive external hires. We also have offered an advanced ESL class for some of our Restaurant Managers and Assistant Managers. Ed listened to our needs and tailored the course specifically to increase the effectiveness of this group within their job responsibilities. The class covered things like doing appraisals and reviews, e-mail etiquette when replying to customer concerns and other basic but essential every day restaurant responsibilities. The increase in effectiveness and confidence among those attending the advanced ESL classes has been nothing short of amazing. > > The relationship our company has had with Ed has really added value and helped us towards achieving our goal of being the choice employer in our market.
