In today’s episode of Transmit Safety, I'm talking with Olivia Augustin about learning English, writing emails, and being more inclusive.
In our Health and Safety roles there are people we work with who have English as a second language, third language, fourth language, or more, and let’s face it, English is the suckiest language in the world. So, how do you navigate that situation and guarantee you’re being inclusive?
However, even if we are native speakers, whenever we start work in a new company or a new industry we have to learn a new workplace language, the specific slang that is used there, and because we’re Health and Safety people, the inevitable acronyms, which is not an easy process.
Luckily, in this episode, we have Olivia Augustin, a certified Technical + Business English teacher who's also an engineer and the host of the English for Engineers Podcast, as our guest and she has all the answers.
Tune in to hear her tips for learning a new (workplace) language, how to be more inclusive with non-native speakers, a way to help with your written business communication, and much more.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
The Transmit Safety Podcast is here to help health and safety practitioners achieve a holistic approach to workplace health and safety so they can become impactful leaders and put the value of safety into action.
