Enhancing Labor Mobility through Effective Translation

International labor mobility can have important economic benefits, increasing a country’s supply of workers and boosting its economy. US Bureau of Labor Statistics figures show the scale of such mobility; 18.1% of the US civilian labor force is foreign-born as of 2022. Translation is key to the effective communication between government departments, corporations, and diverse labor forces that enables this mobility. 

Our Client

Our client is a government department with responsibilities that include enabling economic growth and supporting labor mobility partnerships to operate effectively. The client’s employment mobility strategy is focused on international labor, with a view to maximizing productivity and easing the movement of workers to plug gaps in market demand. The work requires extensive communication and coordination to ensure that mobility partnerships benefit businesses and individual workers alike – and hence the economy as a whole. 

The Challenge 

The need to support businesses and workers with paperwork spanning immigration, employment law, and various financial matters was a key challenge for the client. It also presented several translation challenges. 

Chief among these was the need to extract and format information from a wide range of different file types, ensuring everything was ready for translation in an orderly fashion. Working with a hefty load of material, having the right tools for extraction and translation is imperative for efficiency.

The need for security and confidentiality was another challenge. Any breach could have had diplomatic and political implications, so the client needed a secure, trusted translation solution. 

Finally, the audiences' diverse purposes and multilingual needs are to be factored in. The translations would be read by corporations, government departments, and a demographically diverse labor force.
