Overcoming Language Barriers

Employers are often challenged to communicate benefits to a diverse workforce of non-English speaking employees with different cultural beliefs (sometimes negative or erroneous) about the U.S. financial system.

Melissa Burkhart, President of Futuro Solido USA, provides guidance in overcoming these barriers in a recent article (PDF) in the Denver Business Journal via bizwoman.com (registration required). Her advice is focused on Spanish-speaking workers, but her concepts apply across all ethic groups.
