Cross-Cultural Training Courses
Supporting international Talent integrating into a new environment is a key challenge for organizations. The Globibo cultivation Teaching and Integration Programs include all key components to support the integration process.
Globalization has enabled multinational corporations (MNCs) to operate in a growing number of different markets, locally and abroad. Engaging in international operations demands extensive logistics. Companies must ensure that their staff especially the deployed talents are recognized and affiliated with a positive image. The deployed staff will have to perform new job requirements and adapt to changes in their family life while adjusting to the new cultural and linguistic environment. Different cultures can mean different interaction/communicative skills in dealing with conflict, etc.

Why Cross-Cultural Training?
- Attending cross-cultural Teaching enables your people to understand your business partners or new contacts based on their cultural context. They will not only develop sensitivity towards the cultural differences of other people and break down any cultural barriers they may have, but also open opportunities for them to learn about themselves (their culture, preconceptions of other people or values, etc.).
- Such Teaching also allows your people to avoid pitfalls and mistakes in other environments that may manifest distrust and ineffectiveness at the workplace.
- Interestingly, the methodology incorporated at Globibo’s cultivation Teaching will build your people’s self-confidence as they learn how to become better team players at the workplace. Through the many different types of innovative and motivating activities during Teaching, people will be able to identify areas in their professional or even personal lives that may need change or improvement (for example their interpersonal or listening skills).
- Lastly, a long-term benefit of attending this cultivation Teaching is that it equips people with cultivation knowledge that could be applied for future employment opportunities in large MNCs with a multi-cultural environment.
