Accent Modification/Reduction
Foreign and Regional

We work with your staff at your offices or plant to minimize the loss of productive work time lost.

We can show major changes in accent modification and accent reduction in as little as two hours.

It is much more cost effective to improve the accent

of a valued employee than begin an expensive job search.

WE MAY BE JUST THE HELP YOU NEED!

 Free consultation.

Do Your Employees...

1.          Who speak English as a second language have strong accents that hinder job performance? With special instructions they can speak more clearly, enabling them to communicate better with clients and colleagues. 

2.          Slur their speech, lisp, or have excessive difficulty pronouncing long words?  Speech difficulties draw the listener’s attention away from the intended message. Employees can receive assistance to enable them to reach their full potential. 

3.          Answer the telephone clearly and enthusiastically?   One hundred percent of the first impression is due to verbal skills including the tone of voice. Eliminating unclear or monotone greetings can lead to increased sales and a better public image. 

4.          Who are experiencing a mild hearing loss receive training in lip reading or know about helpful equipment?  Hearing loss is often noticed initially in noisy settings and on the telephone. Assistance at early stages of hearing loss restores an employee’s self-confidence and productivity. 

5.          Have chronically hoarse or otherwise unpleasant voices?  The correction or reduction of voice disorders can increase productivity and morale.

We can show you major changes in as little as two hours!

 

What are the Benefits for Your Company?

In our society, success depends upon an individual’s ability to communicate clearly and effectively. Poor communication skills can damage the reputation of a firm as well as its bottom line. Employees who cannot communicate properly may pose a financial burden to the company or cause clients to take their business elsewhere.

With more and more foreign nationals seeking employment in the United States, many parts of our culture are now a veritable melting pot of accents and linguistic variations.

While many have a strong mastery of English, individual speech patterns may limit their ability to express themselves or to be understood.

If an employee cannot handle an important presentation because of poor communication skills, the responsibility often has to be shifted to another employee. It is not cost effective, however, to replace a person that simply needs to improve their communication skills.

Speech & Language Institute will work with your employees at your offices to minimize productive time lost.
