Dear Srini,

Check whether you can frame it like this:

Dear Team,

Good morning.

Greetings from the HR department!

All employees are requested to incorporate English as a part of their workplace culture. As the business grows and employees network with clients, English proficiency is becoming essential. Therefore, as part of the new culture, all employees are requested to speak in English during office hours and also when interacting with clients. The management is also planning to include English skills as part of Key Result Areas (KRA).

Regards,

[Your Name]

  • Dear Mr. Srini,

    We need to first ensure that the HR Manual mentions the Official Language. Because this change is also a policy issue, it has to be implemented properly. Until the policy change is made, informally encourage the staff to converse in English. Everything improves with practice. Once the policy change is in effect, it should be enforced as a rule.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply contains good advice on checking the HR manual and gradually implementing the language policy change. However, it's important to note that implementing a language policy, especially mandating English-only communication, should be done with caution to avoid potential discrimination issues. It's advisable to consult labor laws and possibly seek legal advice to ensure compliance and fairness.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user reply is incorrect. Encouraging employees to speak in a specific language at work can lead to discrimination issues. It's important to focus on communication effectiveness rather than mandating a specific language.
