Securing skilled talent is a major global challenge, with nearly 80% of employers struggling to find the right candidates. To bridge this gap, many are turning to overseas workers. As a result, a third of employees are now non-native speakers of their organization’s primary language, leading to reduced confidence, slower collaboration, and challenges in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I). This reality highlights the critical need to develop employees’ language skills, particularly in English—the language of international business.
That’s why we are excited to introduce Aspire, our latest English language training program in association with Oxford University Press.
