English in the Workplace - Corporate
Improve communication. Increase retention. Develop skills. Offer progression.
In today's global society, English is increasingly being used as the international language of
communication for business.

The benefits of English in the workplace include:

• Creating a common language for employees within the workplace;


• Building trust and improving relationships with clients and colleagues;
• Initiating and maintaining international relationships;
• Enhancing your professional skill-set;
• Facilitation of career progression;
• Exploring relationships through cultural understanding;
• Improve the quality of life when residing in English speaking countries.

The ability to converse in English is a major advantage for some organisations and companies
including staff members who do not speak English as a first or second language.
Companies who direct business globally are going to engage with individuals who
communicate in English as a first or second language consistently making the ability to utilise
English within the work environment a truly valuable skill.

It is estimated that over half of the pages on the internet are written in English which implies
that more content is accessible to individuals who can understand English.

Access to this kind of information can have a profound effect on your professional life,
regardless of whether you work with partners or customers who communicate in English or
not.
So, so that you who are new to the world of work become more confident, we
have compiled some English vocabulary and terms that are commonly encountered
in the workplace. In addition, learning English terms in the world of work is sure to
be useful for those who want to work abroad or have a lot of foreign clients. For
that, let's learn what English vocabulary and terms are commonly used in the
world of work.
• Leave of Absence , Leave of absence is an English term used when we are unable to attend the
office and carry out our work or it is also known as leave. There are several types of leave or
leave that are common in the world of work, such as maternity leave (maternity leave), sick
leave (sick leave), and annual leave (annual leave).
• Collateral In the world of work, there are 2 kinds of collateral. The first and more widely known
people are collateral which means guarantee. While the other is widely used by those in the
marketing division, which is a collection of media used to promote a brand and support the sale
and marketing of a product or service.
• PO or Purchase Order Most ordinary people know the term PO when they want to order
something through an online store. The PO stands for Pre-Order, while the PO in the world of
work is generally more inclined to Purchase Order, which is proof of ordering an item or
service.
• Deadline This term will be found in many workplaces. Deadline is translated as a deadline,
which is the deadline for a job to be completed. If we exceed the specified deadline, generally
we will be penalized in the form of fines and others. Therefore, try to keep all the deadlines
that we promise.
Job Desc
Job Desc is an abbreviation of the word job description, which means a description of the
authorities, responsibilities, or duties of a position in the workplace. Lots of people often
mistakenly write this one term with a word that sounds similar, namely job desk.

Allowance
In any company, every employee is entitled to benefits other than salary in return for their
services to the company where they work. In English, these allowances are referred to as
allowances. For example, holiday allowance (holiday allowance), overtime allowance
(overtime allowance), meal allowance (meal allowance), and so on.

TAT
This one stands for Turnaround Time. That is the time it takes to complete a project or
process. Although at first glance it sounds similar to deadlines, TAT generally includes the
total time used when we are working on something, so in practice it may be longer or
shorter than the specified deadline.
Quotes
If you are asked about a quote or quotation at the office, you can be sure you are
being asked about price details, not a sentence quote or other quote.

Reimbursement
This vocabulary is probably one of the terms preferred by professionals besides
allowance vocabulary. Reimbursement can be interpreted as compensation for
costs incurred, generally for business or office purposes.

pantry
Usually, every office must have this. In this pantry, you can make coffee, have
lunch, just chat with colleagues, and even cook. The latter usually depends on
the completeness of the equipment provided by the office, but generally almost
all offices have a microwave or the like.
Conclutsion
Those are various English vocabulary and terms in the world of
work that are commonly encountered and may not be known by
those who are working for the first time.
