Whereas qualitative research has reported that Francophone healthcare workers in minority communities feel as though they suffer more at work, these same studies have not compared their results based on language of use. Drawing on the participation of 370 Francophone and Anglophone social workers in Ontario and Nova Scotia, this article shows that the more French an individual uses at work, the more difficult it may be for them to keep their records up to date. These results persist despite the presence of an important control variable such as working conditions. This article calls on social work programs to evaluate the training provided to social workers who work in both French and English, particularly in the area of record-keeping. It also seeks to encourage employers to improve the working environment of these skilled workers, who are hired in part because of their language abilities.
