Culture training courses
International cooperation
Just like communication style, the way we work together can differ considerably per country. Those who work in an international environment will certainly recognise this. Gaining awareness of your own cultural baggage and knowledge of other cultural backgrounds will help you work together more effectively.
This requires some extra effort, but also pays enormous dividends. Mixed teams actually have the potential to perform 35% better than teams without diversity.
Turning differences into business success
Understanding one another goes further than just language knowledge. It also has to do with insight into someone’s cultural background – the behaviours and customs which shape a communication style.
In our culture training courses, participants work on intercultural communication. You gain insight into your own cultural profile and that of your colleagues, business partners or (potential) clients. In this way you are made aware of (subtle) differences and learn how to take them into consideration. Our tailor-made culture training courses are aimed at turning individual differences into business success.
Tailor-made culture training courses
In conjunction with our partner Akteos we have created a number of intercultural communication training courses. They are geared towards the international business market. These training courses can be combined with language training or taken separately.
An expat training course is the ideal preparation for expats who have come to live in the Netherlands, or for Dutch expats who are going to work abroad.
