Advantages of this course

• Nowadays, we are more likely to be working with, and supporting, colleagues who work in different buildings, cities, and even countries. We may also be supporting team members who travel for business or work from home. As such, you will need to know how to utilise technology and communicate with those for whom English is not their first language and/or live and work in a different culture. This short course will help you to make these team members feel valued and included.
