training packages that are cross-cultural

Given the growth of foreign trade and technological advancements, competition for skilled global jobs is the. Globalization requires individuals from many nations, societies, and races to socialize and coexist. Better communication skills and comprehension in the workplace are required, particularly when working with multicultural employees, in order to achieve maximum output. This will also allow team members to maintain positive working relationships with clients from all over the world. When looking for organizations that have cross-cultural training programs, I came across five and decided to choose the best three. The companies are Commisceo global, Riversdown languages international, International RelationsEDU, VITS, and Global Integration (O'Driscoll et al, 2014). Below, I have highlighted which packages I chose, why I chose them for the company, the benefits of the package to the company and how I would customize the package if possible
Commisceo global is very focused and passionate about people and their culture. They have invested heavily on international cross-cultural training and diverse business cultural practices. They also have a training syllabus that put more emphasis on self-reflection and insight to the emotional aspects of each culture. They have over 10 years of experience in the field and are not bound by borders when they choose to deliver. This package will greatly benefit my company because it emphasizes on cross-cultural equality and equity at work places. The management will be taught on the best leadership and global business skills. Retraining is a guarantee because of the provided e-learning platform. Their “country and culture guide books” (Coleman, 2016) will make our employees become culturally unconscious as it’s the best way to avoid discrimination. Commisceo global builds all the courses according to the needs and the requirements of the client and can even customize it upon request
Global Integration not only educates on the need of understanding the different cultures, but also on the negative impact of not working as one in a cross-culturally rich office. There tools are useful where financial functional and cultural difference is part of the procedures. They also provide a tool “Our culture Abacus tool” for participants to evaluate the different cultures and behaviors (Chen et al, 2014). Their training programs are open source and free in the web. The benefits include making better global business decisions, enable the management to have better meetings with international partners, staff improve communication whether face to face or through technical gargets and improve the confidence of the team to communicate well and resolve differences with our global partners when they arise. Just like Commisceo global, they also tailor the package to the exact needs of the client so customization is easy. However, I would have liked to customize it so that instead of only dealing with broad spectrum experience, I can also be able to manage a single culture alone.
VITS was established in January 1994, VITS is focused on ensuring “culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities” receive quality services from their clients (O’Driscoll et al, 2014). They train both clients and staff to ensure those who do not speak English receive quality services. They provide and train interpreters where need be. There package is based on experiential learning which is practically possible and relevant to the specific company. VITS training will provide the practical experience needed by the staff. The company will have the option of using interpreters at will. The staff shall learn on how to plan to render culturally good services and writing for translations. If I could, I would customize the package to be able to accept both Video and Audio translation to better improve the staff’s ability to correctly pronounce the different cultural languages.
