Employees as parents
Do you employ people with international backgrounds or expats? For your employees, using different language to the one spoken in the country they are living and working in, this may present a significant challenge. For the parents among them, the most important question usually is the one on how to raise their child or children in multilingual surroundings.
You could help the employees and provide guidance regarding multilingual education of their children with a lecture or workshop on the topic and offer them professional support from Linguamulti, the specialist in multilingual education.
