Cultural Training
We work with some of the world’s largest companies to offer corporate culture & language training. Our experience covers a vast range of industries, from the financial sector to healthcare and beyond.
Next-Generation Cross-Cultural Training
Traditional cross-cultural training is not keeping up with the needs of today’s modern workers. Traditional solutions are not working, nor have they kept up with the changes in how people learn. Our next-generation cultural support programs offer improved content and offerings in flexible bites for an enhanced learning experience.
Our cross-cultural training can be delivered anytime, anywhere for international assignees, as well as for non-relocating employees doing business globally.
OUR SOLUTIONS
Cross-cultural support programs can be delivered in-person or virtually from anywhere in the world. Trainers delivering the sessions are experienced cross-cultural business consultants who have been trained by elt. We offer 4-hour (half-day) & 8-hour (full-day) in-person training for relocating assignees. These programs are done per family and are broken up into 90-minute sessions when done virtually. Global talent development programs for non-relocating assignees are delivered in a group format.
What challenges can cross-cultural training address?
• How can I ensure my family and I will adapt to our new life abroad?
• Why am I not aligned with my coworkers in my new host country?
• What can I do to improve communications with my boss from Brazil?
• How should I manage a team that is dispersed across 4 continents?
• How come our supplier in India is missing deadlines?
• Why don’t I get an answer from my vendor in China?
