WHEEL is an acronym for Worksite Held Employee English Learning
sponsored by the Farm Bureau in partnership with the Santa Rosa Chamber
of Commerce. The purpose behind the program is to increase English
language skills. This is an 8 week program that provides benefits to
both the employer and the employee. Safety, self confidence, higher
productivity, and enhanced community life are just a few of the
benefits.
Landscape believes in the importance of workplace
development to the community as a whole. That's why we're excited and
proud to announce that 5 of our employees have recently graduated.
Here's why it's such a great program. Employees average a 15% gain in
life skills and reading assessment during their first 8 week session of
English classes. Employees that completed 8, 8-week sessions increased
their basic English skills by 88.9%. When students were asked where they
have applied their new-found English skills here's what they said. As
business owners we benefit from having happy, successful and engaged
employees so all in all, the WHEEL Program is a win-win.
