6 Best Practices for Translating E-learning Courses
by Jeff Tenut, Founder & VP of Solution Design, DiscoverLink, Inc
According to a 2014 report by TDn2K and the Multicultural Foodservice & Hospitality Alliance, 28% of hourly employees in restaurants are Hispanic. Spanish is the primary language for many of these workers, but quite often training materials are only provided in English. In order to properly prepare Spanish-speaking employees to work in a restaurant environment, it’s important to offer training in Spanish.
It’s well known that learners retain more information and are better able to apply it when training is presented in their native language. In fact, in a study by the Journal of Extension, Spanish speakers improved their knowledge scores by more than 50 percentage points after their training was conducted in Spanish. Improved retention leads to better performance which, in turn, creates more opportunity for advancement for Spanish speaking staff while improving overall bench strength for the restaurant. With turnover rates and recruiting difficulties at an all-time high in the restaurant industry, it’s more important than ever to retain and develop good employees, including those who speak Spanish.

CHART Talks: "Brief Blasts of Brilliance" #29 - Body Language 101 for the Texting Generation
by Orloff, Del Frisco's
Does your body language properly reflect the message you are trying to communicate? Thankfully, I had a boss who trained me on how I could better impact guest relations just by adjusting my posture. Since face-to-face is still the main form of communciation, I wanted to share some examples you could use yourself and with your team so everyone is putting their best foot forward. Watch my 12-minute video from my CHART Talks session in Charleston as I offer some tips, with lots of visual examples, on eye contact, safe distance, standing in the elevator, and the important 'belly button and feet rules'.
