The Benefits Of Employee Handbook Translation Services
1. THE LEGAL BENEFITS OF 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.
2. THE SAFETY BENEFITS OF EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK TRANSLATION
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.
3. THE PERFORMANCE BENEFITS OF EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK TRANSLATION
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.

4. THE CONFIDENTIALITY BENEFITS OF EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK TRANSLATION
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.
TRANSLATION PROCESS & QUALITY ASSURANCE
Our innovative three-step quality control system is incorporated into every layer of the localization process. We use workflow controls and cross-checks, the latest localization technology, and client feedback to deliver a smooth and precise finished product. This convergence of human-oriented methodology and state-of-the-art technology is becoming increasingly valuable in a time when automated machine localization services are rapidly gaining popularity among non-professional audiences.
Language Connections is committed to the highest quality of document localization services and conforms to most international translation industry standards, including ISO 9001, EN, LISA, ASTM (Subcommittee F15.48), and others.

TECHNOLOGY
Computer Assisted Translation (CAT)
By using leading computer-assisted translation (CAT) and translation memory (TM) tools, we’re able to cut costs and shorten timelines while improving translation consistency. Specialized software like Trados Studio, SDLX, MemoQ and Wordfast eliminate the need to translate the same content twice by allowing the integration of approved terminology across multiple documents.
Integrated Project Management System
We offer our clients a web-based project management system, XTRF™, that makes working with Language Connections simple and efficient. Thanks to its intuitive, user-friendly interface, learning the system doesn’t take long.

Project managers can simultaneously handle several complex multilingual projects, while adhering to stringent quality assurance protocols.
