Do you think English-only rules are an overly harsh way of creating a common focus among employees? Are there better ways to encourage employees to communicate effectively with each other and with customers?

1. I think that English-only rules are harsh and instead of creating common focus among employees, it forces them to resist and be unhappy with the workplace and its rules. In the other hand, forcing employees to speak English-only companies might harm their productivity. For example, employees who do not speak English well might be hesitant to express their ideas to the management and this kind of ineffective communication could hurt company in the long run. However, I still think that companies should establish English-speaking workforce, therefore, it should be done employees but not forcing them. In my opinion, employees will be more motivated to speak English if the management would be able to persuade the benefits of speaking English. For example, the company might provide free of charge English courses for those who are not confident in speaking English in the workplace. In addition, for those who are able to communicate the language the management could promote higher salaries, or bonuses, or some other kind of benefits.
I think that english- only rules are very harsh. Many people in the United States do not speak English. We live in a very diverse country and to make them all speak English to me is cruel.
Yes, because we live in a diverse community with mixed nationality. Many individuals feel comfortable speaking to those of their own language, its like a comfort zone. Employees should be able to communicate to each other off the job site and not infront of those that do not speak theit language, its considered an ethical behavior in business. When it comes to dealing with the customers, the language that requires to be translate should then be allow by the empoyee to accomodate that customer or customers in helping the needs or wants of the customers.
