Communication Fix
In this paper I will be making proposal/suggestions to the 3COM Corporation as if this was a new company. I will try to alleviate the cultural communication differences.

A multi-language audio/video training course will need to be incorporated in a training program. This alone will be one of the greatest barrier breakers the company will have to face. The only thing that must be checked with the training video is that the translation is on-point with the video. We all have seen videos that the audio was not in sync which took away from the message. After successfully watching the video the team leader will then demonstrate by hand-on method of training. Once the demonstration is completed each employee will have to perform that task with a high success score of 90%. This will cover two major parts; comprehension and to help eliminate accidents.

The next suggestion will be to post poster with directions and
