How Multilingual Skills Can Boost Your Career Prospects and how Societe Generale Global Solution Centre supports you.

Twenty years ago, speaking a foreign language was a major advantage for anyone applying to a multinational company. Beyond technical and interpersonal skills, being able to communicate in another language, especially English, often made the difference between getting hired or not. Today, that has changed. Knowing one foreign language is no longer a bonus - it’s the baseline. Employers now value professionals who can speak two or more international languages, reflecting the realities of an increasingly global job market. As businesses expand across borders, multilingual professionals stand out, not just for their ability to communicate, but for the wider career opportunities and cultural connections their language skills unlock.

At Societe Generale Global Solution Centre, we are a truly multinational organization, delivering services in areas such as HR, Finance & Accounting, IT, Compliance, Know Your Customer, for Societe Generale Group entities in over 35 countries. Our teams interact daily with international partners, and to ensure effective and confident communication, we provide our colleagues with a comprehensive learning experience that combines online platforms, like GoFluent, with interactive workshops led by experienced trainers and practical language labs.

To make this learning journey as effective as possible, we work closely with a dedicated language trainer who helps identify each colleague’s specific development needs and linguistic profile. Once we have a clear picture of the expected performance level and learning goals, the tutor designs a tailored solution that blends online learning with trainer-led sessions. This personalized approach ensures that every learner has access to the right tools and support to meet their goals, closing the loop between learning needs and effective solutions.

Through this structured and supportive approach, language learning becomes more than just a skill-building exercise, it becomes a catalyst for personal growth, stronger collaboration, and greater career mobility within our global organization.

Our wide range of learning solutions allows us to stay flexible and truly employee-centered, tailoring every experience from need to solution. Given the diversity of our colleagues’ roles, we focus not only on the linguistic aspects of each language, but also on the specific professional jargon that supports their day-to-day work. This approach helps our teams integrate new language skills quickly and effectively into their daily activities. To further reinforce learning, dedicated workshops are organized with the support of the language tutor, ensuring a seamless connection between theory and practice and providing a guided environment for applying language skills in real workplace scenarios.

We firmly believe that no effort is too small when it comes to building a complete and effective learning experience, whether it’s focused on linguistic, technical, or behavioral development. We provide not only learning resources, but also a constructive environment that fosters the acquisition of key skills essential for daily success. At SG GSC, we are confident of the potential of our people and continuously invest in their development, empowering them to achieve success and fulfillment in their careers.

In today’s interconnected world, language is more than a communication tool, it’s a bridge to new opportunities, cultures, and ways of thinking. By nurturing multilingual skills alongside technical and behavioral competencies, we empower our colleagues to thrive in an international environment and shape their own path to success.
