Our culture defines many aspects of how we think, feel, and act. It can be challenging for managers to bridge cultural differences and bring employees together into a functioning team. This Managing Across Cultures course will give supervisors and managers easy-to-use techniques for communicating across cultures, building teams, promoting multiculturalism in the organization, and leveraging the global talent pool.
At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Define what culture is and how it shapes the workplace
- Identify how stereotypes shape our perception
- Develop useful cross-cultural attitudes
- Communicate effectively across cultures
- Effectively manage employees from different cultures
- Help teams overcome cross-cultural and virtual barriers
- Promote acceptance and awareness in an organization to help create a multicultural environment
As with all Velsoft SoftSkills courses, this package of customizable training materials includes a detailed instructor’s guide, student manual, handouts, a quick reference guide, PowerPoint slides, course outline, and more. This course is also offered as eLearning.
