Pearson Partners HR Roundtable: Cultural Diversity in Team Building
Apr 21 @ 11:30 am – 1:00 pm
Pearson Partners HR Roundtable: Cultural Diversity in Team Building @ Pearson Partners International | Dallas | Texas | United States

Driving Profitability and Cultural Competence
in Culturally Diverse Global Teams

Featuring Nicole DiRocco
Author, Speaker, Executive Coach

The impact on bottom-line financials is significant to companies unaware of how to operate as an enterprise in other parts of the world. As organizations expand, when investing in human capital abroad, cultural competency is a key factor for success for the individual and the larger, global team.

The importance of translating this understanding throughout the enterprise when managing remote teams and a culturally diverse workforce in global industries is an integral component to the success of companies. Risks of blindly applying one’s own cultural norms to culturally diverse workforces can negatively impact productivity, engagement and morale. We must commit ourselves to change our thinking and our doing for companies and individuals to succeed in a multi cultural society.

After attending this luncheon, you will:

  • Understand the risk of cultural incompetence with employees, colleagues and suppliers relative to profitability, productivity, engagement and morale
  • Identify where you are on the cultural competence continuum
  • Understand the five elements of organizational cultural competence
  • Learn the four steps to help you acquire cultural competence
