On a daily basis, communicate with your employees in your second official language and invite them to do the same. Doing so will promote linguistic security! Let managers know in advance that agenda items must be presented in a bilingual format. Invitation, agenda, handouts and minutes must be distributed in both official languages at the same time.
Make every effort to maintain and improve your own second language proficiency. Practice creates confidence! Postpone items at all-staff and large- scale or formal meetings (such as network meetings, trainings, events, information sessions) to a later date, if the documents are not bilingual.
*Equal quality refers to having a comparable value in both OL.
