Learning Welsh creates new opportunities for organisations and their staff. More and more customers want their services delivered in Welsh, and research shows that employees with bilingual skills are more likely to earn a salary 8-10% higher than workers without.
Indeed, more and more employers in Wales view the Welsh language as a valuable skill for the workplace, especially within the public sector, where there is a statutory requirement and demand for a bilingual service. Private businesses are also realising that using Welsh gives them a competitive edge to attract new customers and generates goodwill and loyalty among their existing customer base.
The North Wales Welsh for Adults Centre has developed courses specifically for organisations wanting to enhance the language skills of their staff. This means that staff can share the enjoyment and challenges of learning with workmates and colleagues.
Even our short courses can teach your staff a few simple phrases... like saying good morning and good afternoon to customers in Welsh. It may not feel like much, but customers will really appreciate your organisations' efforts to use the language.
