Choosing a common language can dramatically improve how employees collaborate across borders - even though it also introduces new challenges.
The decision to adopt a common language must be balanced with the need to speak local languages and adapt to local cultures.

What are some advantages of learning languages?
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/13/opinion/sunday/the-superior-social-skills-of-bilinguals.html?_r=0
Children, who learn to speak more languages, can
be better at communication than children
who speak only 1 language. Being exposed to more languages improves social abilities.
A study showed that bilingual children were better at guessing what people were thinking, perhaps because they are constantly monitoring who in their world spoke what language.

Bilingual people are more efficient at higher-level brain functions such as
ignoring irrelevant information.

Bilingual children adjust to environmental changes better.
Because words in a second language, when learned later in life, do not carry the same emotional impact as the words of one's
native tongue, individuals made more rational decisions when using their
second language.

If you speak 2 languages, dementia is less likely to set in.

Language training is an important investment in employees. However, to reach cultural fluency, more work is needed.
Language fluency does not equal cultural fluency.
