Supported by the award-winning virtual classroom technology, the webinar sessions will help organisations leverage their communication skills to an international standard.

The topics will be presented by a professional native language trainer and include the following:

Armin Hopp, Founder and President of Speexx, adds: “Globalisation is accelerating the need for businesses to communicate across borders and HR professionals are recognising the distinct link between communication skills, talent mobility and improving overall business productivity. But unless businesses adopt a truly collaborative approach, the potential for harnessing benefits of language skills will remain greatly underutilised. Our webinar series helps HR and L&D professionals avoid this pitfall by getting the right communication skills within the workplace.”

The European Day of Languages is celebrated each year on 26 September. Established by the Council of Europe and the European Union in 2001, its objective is to encourage active language learning across Europe.
