Power your DE&I strategy and drive global growth with language learning

Forward-thinking organizations and leaders are focusing on language learning - because they understand that it is fundamental to robust DE&I, which in turn unlocks untapped business growth opportunities.?

The five business skills with the highest increase in demand - according to Pearson’s 2022 APAC Power Skills Survey - are all underpinned by good communication (Leadership and Management, Collaboration, Adaptability and Continuous Learning, Digital Skills, and Critical Thinking and Decision-Making). It’s therefore very clear to leaders across the world that investing in language skills can underpin a progressive and even transformational diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) strategy that powers international growth.?

It’s widely accepted that a healthy culture of DE&I is a non-negotiable in today’s workplace. Investing in and building the language skills that underpin diversity, equity and inclusion is also your strongest business advantage, and the benefits to employers, employees and businesses as a whole are multifaceted and wide-reaching.???

Improved language proficiency results in more confident communicators who are empowered with an understanding of cultural differences and nuances - underpinning your DE&I strategy in multiple ways. But historically this has been overlooked.?

DE&I is by no means a new item on the business agenda - Harvard Business Review has previously reported that companies that invest in DE&I are 70% more likely to capture a new market. But despite understanding the importance of DE&I, many businesses today are still struggling to implement and develop meaningful strategies that are embedded across the organization. And there’s a simple way to fix this.?

As a leader, when you make the connection between stronger DE&I and language learning, and discover the resources that will support you in doing so, an exciting growth potential is unlocked...?
