When a team learns together, everyone grows faster.
NOWJOBS was scaling rapidly into French-speaking markets, but their team's language skills weren't keeping up. Here's how Atolo's Team Immersion program turned a language challenge into a business breakthrough.
1. The Challenge
A fast-growing team needed confidence in French without losing speed or cohesion.
2. The Solution
Atolo's Team Immersion: coaching that replaced classroom lessons with on-the-job practice.
3. Our Approach
Build from the inside, then step back. Create internal coaches and let the team take ownership.
4. The Result
A stronger, more confident, self-sufficient team that uses French naturally every day.
The full story: When a team learns together, everyone grows faster.
NOWJOBS was scaling rapidly into French-speaking markets. Their Success Team - mostly Dutch speakers - suddenly had to support a wave of French-speaking users and clients. Translation wasn't enough. They needed trust, real connection and the ability to show up in the client's language every day. Here's how we helped them get there.
1.
The Challenge
Growing better, not just bigger
NOWJOBS was scaling fast, but the team's language skills weren't keeping up. The Success Team suddenly had to support French-speaking users and clients and translation tools couldn't replace real human connection.
The key question: How can a team build confidence in a second language without losing speed, culture or cohesion?
2.
The Solution
Atolo's Team Immersion program
NOWJOBS needed more than training. They needed momentum. We designed a Team Immersion program that replaced classroom lessons with real-life coaching in action. Instead of chasing perfection, the focus was progress, confidence, and independence.
The approach: blending on-the-job coaching with team empowerment, so beginners could grow, advanced speakers could coach peers and the whole team could move forward together.

Our Approach
Coaching for long-term change
The program unfolded in two key phases:
Phase 1: Build from the inside We started by identifying individual strengths, creating a coaching mindset, and embedding new habits. Atolo worked hand-in-hand with NOWJOBS to clarify internal roles, rethink how tasks were distributed and co-develop a strategy for handling French communication as a team. This was more than language coaching. It was part consulting, part mentoring, fully tailored to their operational reality.
Phase 2: Step back so the team can lead With the foundation set, the trainer gradually shifted into the role of sparring partner. Coaching moments were spaced out, allowing the team to test, refine and take ownership. Internal "French coaches" and managers stepped up, ensuring the team could keep improving without depending on external support.

The Result
A team that grows in every language
By the end, the Success Team had transformed. They weren't just speaking French. They were using it naturally and confidently.
Beginners gained trust to engage with clients
Advanced speakers became internal mentors
Tasks were shared more fairly across the team
Collaboration and agility improved across the board
NOWJOBS didn't just adapt to a new market. They built a stronger, more connected, and more self-sufficient team. A language challenge turned into a business breakthrough.
