Professional Communication in Finnish
Professional Communication in Finnish is part of IWG Institute's industry-specific language training offering: Professional Finnish for International Employees (S2).
International professionals are an important asset for companies. Even when Finnish is not required in employees' primary job tasks, developing Finnish language skills significantly improves everyday functioning, workplace safety, and long-term employee retention in Finland.
Stronger Finnish language skills support smoother integration into the workplace community and strengthen team cohesion. Even basic communication ability lowers the threshold for participation in everyday interaction at work. Supporting employees' Finnish language development also signals that the organization is a responsible employer committed to the success and well-being of its international workforce.
Participants of the training develop the ability to:
- communicate more confidently in Finnish at work
- understand workplace communication and instructions more clearly
- participate more actively in team interaction
