At TRG International, we believe in the power of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its ability to make a positive impact on the environment. After a long hiatus due to the pandemic, our TRGers recently had the opportunity to reignite our commitment to sustainability through a tree-planting CSR activity.

Embracing Kaizen, TRGers Set to Improve English Skills to Drive Personal and Career Success

At TRG International, we hold "Kaizen" as one of our core values, embodying the commitment to continuous improvement that we strive for every day.
This philosophy permeates all aspects of our work at TRG, driving us to constantly explore new technologies, generate innovative ideas, and test them rigorously. We believe that the key to success lies in our ability to adapt and evolve, which is why we use the insights gained from our experiments to enhance our processes and outcomes.

Committed to fully embracing the value of Kaizen, our Learning and Development (L&D) team at TRG International has dedicated their efforts to developing a range of training programs that empower our TRGers to thrive in an international setting. One such program is the English Improvement initiative in collaboration with ELSA, a mobile language learning app.
The ELSA app offers limitless convenience and learning opportunities for our TRGers. With just twenty minutes of daily commitment, they can engage in interactive learning paths, exercises, and practices tailored to their specific needs, effectively enhancing their English skills. The app's user-friendly interface and personalised approach make it easy and enjoyable for our TRGers to progress at their own pace.
To infuse an element of fun into the learning process, our L&D Administrator, Tien Luong, has designed weekly and monthly gamified challenges. These challenges not only motivate our TRGers to stay consistent with their practice but also foster a sense of healthy competition within the TRG community.

The response to these challenges has been overwhelmingly positive, with TRGers enthusiastically participating and encouraging each other along the way. As a result, we have witnessed a continuous increase in the number of practice hours logged by our TRGers, serving as an encouragement not only for our L&D team but the entire TRG community.
"Being a part of these transformations is one of the best parts of my job as an L&D administrator," said Tien.

"Recently, I had an important kick-off meeting coming up, and I wanted to make sure that my pronunciation was clear and effective in delivering my message confidently. Thanks to the ELSA app provided by TRG, I was able to practice and improve my pronunciation skills before the presentation. As a result, I received great feedback from my team members, and I felt really proud of how well I could communicate after using the ELSA app. It made me feel good and confident in my speaking skills."

Many TRGers have shared testimonials about how their increased fluency in English has opened up new opportunities for them, both personally and professionally. They feel more confident in their ability to communicate effectively in an international environment, which leads to better collaboration and increased productivity.
