Enhancing Multilingual Communication with VerbumCall

Written by OneMeta | Jan 5, 2025 5:44:37 AM

The Challenge:

In the transportation and public infrastructure sectors, language barriers present a significant challenge for both employees and customers.  Whether it's public transportation systems, infrastructure projects, or customer service, non-English-speaking individuals often face difficulties understanding schedules, safety protocols, and instructions, which can lead to delays, safety risks, and frustration.  Employees are left scrambling to find colleagues who speak the necessary language or turn to language service providers (LSPs), creating inefficiencies, added stress, and time delays.

The Current Experiences:

  • Employee Experience: Employees in transportation and public infrastructure are often under pressure to serve a diverse customer base. Language barriers increase stress, cause delays, and require staff to rely on external interpreters or colleagues who speak the language, causing operational inefficiencies. This impacts productivity and employee satisfaction, especially when communication is delayed or misunderstood.
  • Customer Experience: Customers who don’t speak English face challenges in understanding schedules, ticketing systems, or emergency safety protocols.  This frustration can lead to confusion, missed appointments, and even safety risks, particularly in emergency situations.  Without an effective communication solution, customers may feel ignored or disengaged, damaging the public trust and their satisfaction with services.
  • The IT Experience: IT teams are tasked with integrating complex communication systems such as telephony and ticketing with language services.  These integrations often require significant resources and time, and issues with language barriers frequently fall on IT to address. However, IT teams often lack the time to research and implement secure, scalable solutions that address these needs while maintaining compliance with security regulations and privacy laws.
  • Business Experience: Senior management often underestimates the cost and operational impact of language barriers.  The delays caused by miscommunication, reliance on third-party interpreters, and inefficiencies drain resources.  With no scalable solution, organizations continue to rely on outdated processes, missing opportunities to improve both employee and customer experiences, and ultimately affecting their bottom line.  Senior leadership may not fully realize how technology-driven solutions can streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve customer satisfaction.
