Intercultural Competence

“Do I need it?”

If you are not working in a multicultural workplace now, you likely will be soon. Think about the mix of cultures that make up your clients, donors, patients, employees, colleagues, suppliers, customers and vendors. If you could overcome communication difficulties and improve your relationships with them, wouldn’t that be an advantage?
 
Developing your intercultural skills enables you to quickly become more professionally productive. It will expand your ability to work effectively and help you establish interpersonal relationships with individuals from cultures other than your own.
 
Intercultural training is essential to employees, supervisors, managers, and community leaders who:

• provide human services to our increasingly diverse communities (e.g. police, fire, EMT, local governments).
• recruit, train, or review multicultural staff.
• want to increase sales by expanding their customer base.
• maintain contacts (phone, fax, email) with suppliers, customers, colleagues, or business partners abroad.
• work within an intercultural environment (e.g. multinational companies, joint ventures, international associations).
• visit a foreign country on business trips and/or look after foreign visitors.

InterCultural Advantage also has expertise in developing crisis communication plans, media training, and meeting facilitation.
