How Our Language Managers Feel

We ran our newly restructured quarterly language manager survey for the second time to help us understand how secure our language managers feel. Feeling secure means we are able to keep and manage relationships and work through challenges by communicating without fear or anxiety, thus making kasahorow a functioning productive environment. We had a positive response from our language managers, with 94% of managers indicating that they felt secure and supported at kasahorow (an increase of 4% from our previous survey). With twice as many language managers completing the survey this time around, engagement appears to be improving. As always, we have taken individual feedback to heart and our Regional Managers will be looking at all feedback to ensure we are continually focused on improving and creating a safe, productive working environment.
