Cross Cultural Services
Navigate cultural differences with confidence—turn diversity into competitive advantage
Why Cross-Cultural Training Is Critical for International Assignments
Cultural misunderstandings are among the leading causes of failed international assignments. Even highly skilled professionals can struggle when they misread social cues, violate unspoken norms, or fail to adapt their communication style to local expectations.
Our cross-cultural training services prepare your relocating employees and their families to adapt quickly and effectively to their new environment. We combine expert insights on local business culture, practical scenarios based on real situations, and actionable strategies for building successful relationships. Whether it's understanding negotiation styles, managing local teams, or simply navigating daily social interactions, we equip your employees with the cultural competence they need.
Our Cross-Cultural Training Process: Building Cultural Intelligence
1. Pre-Departure Assessment
We evaluate the employee's current cultural awareness, previous international experience, role requirements, and specific challenges they're likely to face in their destination. We also assess family members' needs, as cultural adaptation affects the entire household and impacts assignment success.
​
2. Customized Training Program Design
Based on the assessment, we develop a tailored training curriculum covering relevant topics: business etiquette and protocols, communication styles, decision-making processes, hierarchy and authority, negotiation approaches, time perception, relationship-building practices, and cultural values that influence workplace behavior.
