7 languages in Lambertseter
Many of the customers in Lambertseter are non-native to the Norwegian language, and several of Francielle’s co-workers have previous experience of living in other countries and cultures; the team boasts seven languages. This means that many customers can get help in their native language. The available languages are highlighted by the flags on the nameplates, which is a service many of Clas Ohlson’s employees have chosen to offer.
"The workplace is our second home and we become like a family at work. I think it's important that we reflect the society we live in. Diversity goes hand in hand with integration, which I am very proud to be able to contribute to. It is a strength of the company that we are multicultural and speak several languages. If we have any language problems, we use Google translate. We are solution-oriented and use sign language if necessary to understand each other. It works!” says Francielle.
