Employees of CQ fluency rejoice at growing accolades for their hard work
We are honored to receive recognition from Inc. 5000, and the NMSDC and want to be sure that our ‘purpose’ receives acknowledgement, not just our growth.
HACKENSACK, N.J. (PRWEB) September 18, 2020
High quality, culturally relevant language access isn’t always readily available for the 25 million+ people in the United States who are LEP (Limited English Proficient) patients. For those that do obtain access, the standards set by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are proposed to further weaken. Deeper connections require a holistic approach to language that includes adapting for tone, images, colors, symbols, religion, politics, gender, diets, humor level, sequence of information, acronyms, untranslatable puns, idioms and medical terms that don’t exist in the target language.
While there are thousands of language service providers worldwide, CQ fluency’s unique proprietary processes and strong commitment to diversity and inclusion (D&I) are making the company stand out and win accolades. For the seventh consecutive year, CQ fluency, whose mission is “improving lives,” is recognized on the Inc. 5000 “Fastest Growing Companies” list. This announcement comes on the heels of recently being named a Corporate Plus member by the National Minority Supplier Development Council. Both recognitions are a testament to CQ fluency’s comprehensive approach to diversity and inclusion – embracing a multicultural workforce, creating an inclusive workplace culture, being integrated in their communities and leveraging diverse suppliers. All these factors contribute to CQ fluency’s ability to help the world’s largest health and life science organizations engage the hearts and minds of their often-misunderstood diverse patients.
Elisabete Miranda, President & CEO of CQ fluency shared, “We are honored to receive recognition from Inc. 5000, and the NMSDC and want to be sure that our ‘purpose’ receives acknowledgement, not just our growth.” Elisabete added, “As a Minority and Woman owned Business Enterprise (MWBE), diversity isn’t simply a company policy – diverse is what we are, and inclusive work naturally derives from that. For over 20 years we have worked towards improving the lives of underserved populations through communication, with a goal to contribute to the fight toward inclusive health equity for all.”
D&I strategies are valuable ingredients in overcoming adversity. Through the unprecedented events of 2020, CQ fluency’s well-known agility and flexibility was evident through their commitment and responsiveness in the face of adversity.
