G4S’s Challenges
As one of the world’s largest employers – with over 618,000 employees, including 13,000 in Thailand –G4S understand the benefits and need for well-trained personnel. Most of G4S’s staff in Thailand have daily contact with customers, vendors, and overseas colleagues in a variety of situations requiring a good grasp of basic English. However, the company recognised that its employees’ listening skills outpaced their ability to produce English confidently, leading to their utilization of Anglokom’s communicative English for Special Purposes curriculum.
