Anti-Crisis Recipe – Babelcom’s innovative English Training solution

anti-crisis-recipe1My training budget has been cut in half…

I have fewer people to do the same amount of work (or more)…

Our organisation has fewer resources available to support the team…

These are a few of the most frequently mentioned comments from our clients lately. For those of you who know us, you know we like a good challenge.

Cutting the training budget doesn’t have to mean cutting quality. What is needed is a cost effective solution for English training programmes that address the real demands of the business and its people.

We all know that most successful companies continue investing in their people during bad times. That way their people are given support right when they need it most, and when the recession ends their business will be even more competitive.

This is why we would like to introduce you to Babelcom’s Webinars: virtual courses that provide all the benefits of our face-to-face seminars but with the convenience of being able to attend wherever people are.

Our Webinars are a resource-effective way to:

  • Eliminate all travel and accommodation costs
  • Manage complex logistics associated with seminars
  • Ensure participation is maximised (and avoid last-minute cancellations)
  • Continue to provide quality training with budget restrictions

Your teams can sign up for the Webinars and simply join at the allotted time via teleconference and web conference. Each Webinar session lasts one hour, which makes it easier for people to commit their time and better assimilate the content.

We have many useful and practical courses that help you and your team deal with common communication issues faced by people at work. If you would like more information on this service or would like to discuss your needs and how our Webinars could help, don’t hesitate to give us a call.

Our newsletter and blog will not bombard you with commercial information, but you will find: Continue reading →

Top Ten Tips for Managing Stress

stressWe all get stressed now and then, but lately many of us have been doing a stress marathon. Right when we need it the most, far too often we forget to look after ourselves!

You are probably thinking, ‘I don’t have the time!’. If you make the time, the rest of your time will be less stressful.
