Problem:
Two members of a work team you supervise come from Arabic-speaking countries. A third (non-Arabic-speaking) team member complains to you that during meetings these two often speak with each other in Arabic, denying the rest of the team what might be important information. In addition, this employee says, they both have heavy accents, making their English difficult to understand.
What could you do to resolve this communication problem, given the time and resource limitations nearly all organizations have? Hiring an interpreter, for instance, would be out of the question, given your current budget situation.
