Are you a multinational organisation? Do you have diverse teams with expat leaders interacting with locals? Do you find yourself dealing with misunderstandings and confusion that doesn't exist with your home culture? Have you found an erosion of trust between team members from different cultural orientations? Then you need to invest in your team’s cultural insight.
The benefits of Intercultural Competency:
By embedding intercultural competency throughout your organisation, you can expect:
- improved verbal and non-verbal communication within teams and between colleagues and clients which allows for better cooperation and efficiency. This can be seen through developed skills such as improved listening, empathy and adaptability, to an encouraged and increased expression of innovation and creativity for new ideas
- improved productivity and proficiency: in all areas from management to team structure, meeting styles and staff interactions to better retention and recruitment
- a competitive advantage: chances are you will win business over your competitors when your employees are able to utilise intercultural skills when engaging with clients, in a culturally proficient way and form more deeper, respectful and meaningful relationships which last.
