COMMUNICATING ACCROSS CULTURES
Cultural elements such as unspoken rules and value systems underlie and influence communication within teams. Developing effective communication skills is key to creating a positive and productive work environment and increasing team cohesion and productivity.
Good interpersonal communication is especially crucial for multicultural and ethnically diverse teams (when working remotely) as misunderstandings can occur more easily due to a gap in understanding and communication.
Furthermore, delivering and receiving feedback is an essential part of our jobs. However, do we always deliver feedback in an empowering and constructive manner? And how does the receiving and giving of feedback differ across cultures?
Thrive Qube’s training on ‘Communicating Across Cultures’ will help you and your team explore and understand the role culture plays on their communication style and those of others. The training covers oral and written communication from (online) meetings to face to face interactions with colleagues.
