Healthcare organizations are facing growing challenges in recruiting, retaining, and developing talent. These pressures are especially acute in frontline roles where communication and collaboration have a direct impact on patient care. English upskilling is emerging as a strategic solution that helps multilingual team members build confidence, advance in their careers, and strengthen communication across care teams.

In this session, EnGen’s Founder and Chief Education Officer, Katie Brown, will be joined by HR leaders who are putting English upskilling into practice in hospitals, clinics, and other care settings. They will share insights and real-world outcomes that highlight how this approach supports workforce development, improves collaboration, and contributes to safer, more effective patient care.
