Our corporate intercultural training programs include:

Living & Working Successfully as an Expatriate

This program helps employees and their families relocating abroad on international assignment to adjust to the culture of their host country and therefore reduce culture shock and chances of early repatriation. The guided adaptation will allow assignees to focus on their work, develop culture-effective business practices, and thrive both professionally and personally in their new environment.

Harnessing Cultural Diversity at the Workplace

This workshop helps multicultural teams at an organization’s local office to work and communicate more effectively with each other. While enhancing team effectiveness and productivity, this program also helps break down barriers, resolve conflict, promote a healthy work environment and leverage new skills resources.

Communicating Effectively with a Global Virtual Team

Global Virtual Teams face a number of complex challenges that are specific to interacting with members from different cultures, communicating via technology rather than face-to-face, as well as to working as a team. This workshop will enhance the effectiveness of global virtual teams by helping members overcome potential conflict due to cultural differences and miscommunications due to accents, colloquialisms and lack of nonverbal cues.

Conducting Business Successfully Across the Globe

This program helps executives dealing with international clients and counterparts to develop a global mindset, gain insight into foreign expectations and business practices, and develop culture-effective skills and strategies that will allow them to conduct business successfully across the globe.
