Translations of HR and staff development information and communication material
Effective staff development and HR work requires clear and accurate communication that crosses language barriers to engage and support company employees globally and ensure that everyone has access to the same information in the language that they understand best.
At Novoterm we have extensive experience of delivering clear and well-adapted translations of information and communication material within the areas of HR, management and staff development for a variety of industries. Our services include not only translation, but also language review of HR material to ensure that all information is accurate, culturally relevant and consistent across different markets. We have a great deal of experience of working with a range of different document types, including company codes of conduct, policy documents, role descriptions, job adverts and employee surveys. In addition, we can translate and adapt internal communication and training material, as well as guidelines and matrices that are central to employee development and effective assessment.
We use the specific needs and cultural context of our customers as our starting point to ensure that each translation is not only linguistically correct, but also meets the cultural and professional expectations of the recipients. We help you, as our client, to build stronger internal relationships and promote an inclusive corporate culture that reaches out to all employees, including those in global organisations.
Our staff development and HR expertise
Policy documents
Having policy documents translated is an important building block to ensure that all employees understand and can follow company guidelines and rules in a global operation. Clear and consistent communication of policies makes it easier for everyone to be able to follow the regulations, and it also helps to create a unified corporate culture.
Training material
We help you translate training material so you can be sure that all employees, regardless of their location, have access to the same information and knowledge in the language they are most comfortable with. This is important in maintaining a high level of competence throughout the organisation as well as supporting both the personal and professional development of staff.
Handbooks
Handbooks provide a central source of company-specific knowledge and contain important information, such as work routines and company practices. Translating handbooks into different languages will strengthen understanding and cooperation between different departments and countries and thereby create a more coherent work environment.
Employee surveys
Translating employee surveys into the native language of your employees enables a deeper understanding, making the gathering of opinions and feedback a much more valuable process. In the long run this will provide you with great opportunities to start working on improvements with clear direction and increased commitment from your employees.
Onboarding
Properly translated onboarding material gives new employees a welcoming and inclusive start at their new workplace. It helps them to integrate into the company quickly so that they can feel like part of the team from day one.
Internal communication
Translation and adaptation of internal communication, including everything from monthly newsletters to daily updates, ensures that employees can access important information on equal terms and in their own language.

Translations that allow a company’s unique voice to be heard
In order to maintain a company’s distinctive character and image in our staff development and HR translations, here at Novoterm we work in close collaboration with our clients so that we can understand and integrate their unique voice and style into the work that we do. Our translators are not only experts in their respective languages but are also skilled in capturing subtle nuances in corporate communication that reflect a company’s culture and values. To gain a full understanding of your company, our translators examine previously published material and your website very thoroughly.
When we take on a first assignment with a new customer, we always ask for communication guidelines, or at least points of reference, regarding what characterises the company’s specific voice and what makes it unique. This material is then used in a consistent manner throughout all translation projects to ensure that each document is not only linguistically correct but also functional and easy for all employees to relate to.
