Beyond Words: Hiring Across Languages and Barriers in the Manufacturing World

Presented by: Cynamyn from Harmony Systems

Description:
When Harmony Systems set out to build a multilingual workforce, they didn’t just translate job postings, they transformed their entire approach to communication, training, and inclusion.

In this eye-opening session, Cynamyn shares the bold steps her team took to successfully hire and onboard speakers of multiple languages, including one without a written form a challenge few companies ever face.

Join us to explore:

• How to navigate hiring when written instructions don’t exist
• Creative training methods that go beyond text
• Cultural intelligence in manufacturing environments
• Real-life hurdles and how they were solved on the floor

Whether you’re in HR, operations, or leadership, this session will inspire new ways to think about language, equity, and what it really takes to build a workforce that reflects your community.
