General Management Training

Cross-Cultural Working

Culture is about perception. Different cultural backgrounds create a platform for upset or misunderstandings in the workplace. This can become even more exaggerated when using e-communication in place of face-to-face interactions and operating in a stressful disruptive work environment. Therefore, everyone working in culturally diverse environments should develop an understanding of the impact of culture on day-to-day interactions – now more than ever.

What is covered?

  • What is culture and how does it affect the way we think and behave?

  • Which culture and the limitations of generalising

  • The impact of culture on work – culture clash

  • Cultural dimensions

  • Case studies

  • Intercultural competence – best practice and next steps

The training will allow participants to:

  • Reflect upon and share their experiences of their own culture to encourage empathy and to promote better group dynamics.

  • Participants will also become familiar with a framework for understanding key cultural differences in communication style and work practices.
