McKinsey Global Institute research shows that only 13% of graduates from emerging markets are ready to work at multinational companies due to poor English skills.
With 70% of the world's corporate growth expected to come from emerging markets*, talent leaders need to address this gap. Relying on expatriates is limiting. Failing to develop your existing workforce hinders your organization’s growth. Developing a highly effective and collaborative global workforce requires a new strategy, and the best companies are turning to GlobalEnglish.
By developing Business English communication skills you allow the most diverse global operations to work as one. And investing in Business English is key when you consider that only 7% of global employees believe their current skills are sufficient to do their jobs. It’s a savvy move that makes these companies desirable employers, fosters loyalty, enhances talent mobility and fosters future leaders.
