TRY TO AVOID THE WORD "FORMATION"

INGLES PARA RRHH - TRY TO AVOID THE WORD "FORMATION"

Although the word "formation" does exist in English, it is best to avoid using it when you are talking about issues related to HR. Many Spanish people use it by mistake because it is close to the Spanish word "formacion".

A much better alternative is "training" which most of you will already know. So for example: "Professional training is a key element of keeping your employees happy." The word "formation" in English is used when you want to talk about something that has been formed: a rock (piedra) formation.

Hope that helps!
