Working Successfully Across
Cultures
 What is it
about
We can all work well with people who are
similar to us, who think, act and talk as we do, and who share the
same values and beliefs. But when we work with partners from
different cultural backgrounds, it can sometimes be much more
difficult. Understanding how cultures differ, and being
able to recognise how these differences impact our everyday work,
can help us to relate better to individuals. Cultural
diversity has huge potential – if managed well. It also has
its risks, if not. This becomes apparent when miscommunication
occurs and working morale suffers.
By raising awareness of our own
preferences and norms and how these differ to those of our
international partners, we are more able to understand one
another. Improved working relationships are the
result.
