Employee Handbook Translation

When you ask Language Connections to provide legal translation services for your employee handbook or even background check translation services, you, as a business, are being proactive at protecting yourself from unwarranted litigation or potential threats towards your company. An employee handbook informs company employees about their rights and enforces any state or federal laws in addition to warning about disciplinary actions and policy-violations. Therefore, investing in the translation of employee handbooks protects employers from many types of litigation caused by a potential employee claim. Even if a potential claim or suit arises, giving translated employee handbooks to all employees can support your case in court. Clearly, an employee handbook translation aids in shielding your company from potential time and financial loss caused by fighting various legal issues.

In order to maintain a safe work environment, a list of rules and regulations must be enforced. Whether your company operates in the finance, marketing, or advertising industries, your team should develop rules and regulations covering many situations, such as injury, harassment, violence, fires, emergencies, etc. These rules and regulations must be translated into every native language spoken within your company workforce or at least meet the majority language requirement. Clear manual instructions, particularly on the use of potentially dangerous equipment, should also be incorporated in an employee handbook translation. Luckily, Language Connections brings over three decades of professional experience as a language service provider to aid with your employee handbook translation services, including Spanish employee handbook projects. 

Every employee handbook should cover the company’s culture and expectations for its employees. These handbooks should clearly communicate company policies, specific behaviors that may result in disciplinary action, attendance, dress code, etc. By translating company guidelines, transparency between the company and its employees will be increased for all employees, in spite of language barriers. Giving solid, helpful guidelines will let employees know how to perform like a star at your company and can save your organization valuable time that could be lost on disciplinary actions.

Implementing employee handbook translations for both native English speakers and second language learners ensures equal opportunity for the entire company workforce to become aware of what private company information or data must remain fully protected. An employee manual translation project procured through a professional language service company like Language Connections will also guarantee that sensitive files such as employee records, unpublished financial information, and customer/partner lists will not be shared by any employee.
