You may be affected by the government’s proposed new Immigration plans. Read about the benefits of English training to see if it is something you should be undertaking this year.
Government Immigration Plans
New government post-Brexit Immigration plans have been unveiled and it means that a lot of UK companies could be facing staffing uncertainties. If the plans are passed, companies employing “low-skilled” workers may struggle from the 31st December 2020 to find new immigrant workers to fill their roles. Areas of high employment of foreign workers include warehousing, hospitality, care, health and construction. According to The Guardian, Confederation of British Industry Director General, Carolyn Fairbairn, warned that in “some sectors, firms would be left wondering how they would recruit the people needed to run their businesses”. We are being told that these companies should invest in and reassure their current staff. Moreover, foreign workers currently living and working in the UK can still apply for settled status which will allow them to remain in the UK. For more information please see the Government’s website.
What are the benefits of providing English training?
- Improved communication – English training can be tailored to your needs so that your staff communicate better with colleagues and customers. But not only that, they will become more confident and improve relationships in the workplace.
- Reduced mistakes – an increased level of English will lead to overall better understanding, leading to a reduction in mistakes. Workers will also feel more confident to report errors or to flag up concerns.
- Increased staff retention – your workers are more likely to stay with your company if they feel supported and invested in. Moreover, by improving the English skills of your staff, you will give them the opportunity to be promoted within the company.
- Increased applications for jobs – English training is a valuable staff benefit that should be shouted from the rooftops. Firstly, it makes good business sense to want to improve the English skills of your staff. In addition, your staff will feel valued and they will have a skill that will help them in their career and in their personal life.
