Organisations of all sizes and types in both the public and private sectors can become a member of HTT. Our members are inclusive organisations that are committed to making their services available to all. HTT guidelines help members to embed an ethos of cultural awareness and sensitivity in every aspect of their communications. HTT policies and procedures ensure that customers are not marginalised as a result of language barriers.
HTT tools and processes equip your staff with the skills and knowledge needed to communicate with those who speak little or no English and provide practical assistance. As a member of HTT, your staff will be ready to handle any language issues that arise confidently and professionally.
We’re very impressed with the Happy to Translate initiative and looking forward to working with the supporting tools and processes. The training session was an excellent introduction and all staff feel confident that they will achieve positive outcomes with tenants whose first language is other than English, as a result of implementing Happy to Translate.
