Gas station employees to use sign language
Gas station employees to use sign language
Employees at “Total in Turkey” gas stations will be trained to use sign language as part of a corporate social responsibility project.
The main objectives of the “Two Hands’ Energy Good” project are to serve people with hearing loss better and to raise awareness about their problems.
“We are pleased to bring this project into action in order to minimize the problems determined through feedback from hearing-impaired persons,” said Ebru Akça, chair of the Training Activities Association of People with Hearing Loss.
She said that making sign language widespread among the population was also among the objectives of the project.
“In the first phase of the project, store and front-line employees in 20 stations in Turkey’s provinces of Istanbul, Ankara and Bursa have been trained to speak in sign language,” Begüm Egesel, an executive board member of Total in Turkey, said. Other trainings in Total’s nearly 500 stations are underway, she added.
