Many corporate onboarding programs fail to address the needs of English as a Second Language (ESL) employees, leaving them feeling isolated and overwhelmed. This lack of tailored onboarding can result in miscommunication, disengagement, increased ramp-up time, and high turnover rates. Research highlights that over 67 million individuals in the United States speak a language other than English at home, emphasizing the importance of culturally aware onboarding practices. A shift toward ESL-informed onboarding can foster inclusion, improve employee experience, and ultimately lead to stronger global teams.
