Do you have diverse teams with expat leaders interacting with locals? Do you find yourself dealing with misunderstandings and confusion that doesn&#8217;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&#8217;s cultural insight.<\/h3>\r\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZNsTGcx99BI?autoplay=1\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<h2>What is Cultural Insight and why is it important?<\/h2>\r\n<p>In an increasingly globalised world, cultural insight is crucial, not just for business relations, but for cross-cultural competency within diversified teams, with individuals who have been shaped by different values, beliefs and experiences. In an environment with high levels of diversity, where expatriate and local citizens work together, the need for intercultural competence is a business imperative.<\/p>\r\n<p>Diversified individuals bring with them different core assumptions about communication, authority, time, rules and relationships.<\/p>\r\n<p>The journey to cultural insight starts by understanding the core assumptions of your home culture, and then understanding that these may be different from other people&#8217;s cultures. This understanding, coupled with respect, becomes the foundation for developing new ways of negotiating work and relationships. This new understanding can unlock the potential benefits of working with people from a variety of backgrounds, allowing diversity to build strength. The skills developed in this program can be utilised whenever one has to deal with other cultures, regardless of the culture or the relationship.<\/p>\r\n<p>This program is led by our highly qualified and experienced consultant and utilises a combination of training sessions, group coaching and personal reflection.<\/p>\r\n<h2>The benefits of Intercultural Competency:<\/h2>\r\n<p>By embedding intercultural competency throughout your organisation, you can expect:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>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<\/li>\r\n<li>improved productivity and proficiency: in all areas from management to team structure, meeting styles and staff interactions to better retention and recruitment<\/li>\r\n<li>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.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>Team members<\/h2>\r\n<p><strong>As Learning &amp; Development consultants, we are passionate about building competence and developing confidence in people and organisations.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Our team is full of diverse backgrounds, ranging from HR, recruitment, management, coaching, finance and marketing, but we all share one passion: building legacies.<\/p>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-01.cms-ap-v2i.applyflow.com\/peopleconnexion\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Kristine03ret-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Kristine Berry Managing director\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h2>Kristine Berry<\/h2>\r\n<h5>Director, Peopleconnexion<\/h5>\r\n<p>Kristine has an Honours degree in Psychology and has been in the professional development industry for over 25 years, and has been a mentor and career coach, and has been part of a variety of charitable programs as well.
