Intercultural Training

Culture does matter

Your challenge

  • You would like to prepare your employees for an international assignment. Many challenges and opportunities lie ahead of them. Going abroad is life changing.
  • You have international employees who need to adapt to the German workplace. They have many questions about doing business in Germany, many behavioral and individual challenges.
  • You want to prepare your employees for the global market. Interaction with many different cultures, clients, sales representatives, colleagues have made work more interesting, but also complex.
  • You want to prepare your employees systematically and ensure that everybody has the knowledge and sensitivity about cultural differences, and more important: learns important clues on how to interact on the international stage.
  • You are in the midst of a joint venture or have just integrated with an international partner. A lot of effort has been put into understanding each other’s values and company culture. On a personal or team level, many questions and difficulties have risen about how to work together effectively, about the underlying value system that makes it a constant challenge.

Our offer

One definition of culture is: “It is the way we do things around here”. A simple sentence with many consequences. Different approaches - from e.g. decision making to the idea of authority - affect business and relationships. We would like to help creating awareness of how people think and act differently and what implications are driven by cultural differences.

We offer team workshops in which we are focusing on the intercultural issues as well. Culture is learned and therefore taken for granted as the way of “doing it right”. In international teams many times “doing it right” hits “doing it right”. We like to support you in making that an opportunity. Bringing that taken for granted to the surface. The opportunity in gaining a broader perspective on your task at hand because of different perspectives and thought processes. Gaining a better understanding for each other and the cultural aspects.

We offer intercultural sensitivity workshops in which we work with cases and simulations that make intercultural learning fun and a true experience.

We offer relocation training for employees and spouses. Change is strenuous, sometimes a stressful experience. The success of a foreign assignment also depends on the well being of the family. Preparation can help to adapt easier to the intercultural challenges.
