Multilingualism in Swiss SMEs

Language learning is not just an individual endeavor, but it can also be a valuable corporate benefit. One way to achieve this is through a language tandem exchange program, where employees can practice and improve their language skills with their colleagues.

Benefits of Language Tandem Exchange

Language tandem exchange offers numerous benefits for both employees and the company as a whole. Here are just a few of the many advantages:

  1. Improved communication: By practicing and improving their language skills, employees will be better able to communicate with colleagues who speak different languages. This can lead to a more cohesive and productive team.
  2. Increased cultural understanding and empathy: Through regular interactions with colleagues from different cultural backgrounds, employees will gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for different cultures and perspectives. This can lead to more empathy and understanding in the workplace, resulting in a more inclusive and diverse environment.
  3. Enhanced employee development and career opportunities: Language learning is a valuable skill that can enhance an employee's professional development and open up new career opportunities.
  4. Improved teamwork: By working together to practice and improve their language skills, employees will build stronger relationships and improve teamwork. This can lead to a more cohesive and productive team.
  5. Increased global competency: As the world becomes more interconnected, it's essential for companies to have employees who are globally competent. A language tandem exchange program can help employees develop this competency, making them better equipped to work with international clients or colleagues.

Hello I live in Fribourg since end of 2011 and I still haven't learnt German - what a shame 😅! I come from "Friuli" (northeastern Italy) but I speak fairly well English and French 😉 In the medium/long term I'd love to at least understand Swiss-German, so, I've started with the first step: learning German. Will you help me with that?
