Translation for learning & development

Reduce language barriers to learning and development with human translation

A report by Epignosis and SHRM states that 94% of employees would remain at a company for longer if it invested in their personal learning and professional development. The question is: how can global businesses develop and communicate their internal training programmes to international employees, wherever they are in the world?

The answer is specialist HR translation to ensure that all learning and development content is conveyed accurately across languages and cultures to get the best out of your global workforce.
