The modern workplace
has diverse generations, disciplines and cultures working together so that
shared understanding is vital but can also be a challenge.
This free webinar addresses how we can overcome stereotypes
or lazy assumptions of other cultures – and our own – to ensure the smooth running
of teams and projects using an evidenced-based approach.
Our one-hour 'lunch-and-learn' will explore topics including:
-
⁃ recognising cultural default settings
⁃
how values influence communication and motivation
⁃
adjusting everyday language to avoid bias and misunderstanding
Our differences can be a source of strength and stability
but they can also surprise us. For example, studies consistently show that individual
variation within any given group is always larger than between groups. The same forces that influence our propensity for teamwork or rely more on individual effort.
This webinar addresses how accurate our assumptions are both of
our own and other cultures, what drives polarisation
within groups as well as our collective decision-making.
Learners will be introduced to a validated tool for measuring cultural differences that is
easily referenced, without underestimating the complexity of multiculturalism.
