Cross-Cultural Communication Challenge Tip 20

Cross-Cultural Communication Challenge – Expand Your Mindset

One of the first things you notices when you begin to work with international clients is that they usually have a different way of doing things. The differences can be as simple as different work schedules:

• Different working hours during the day
• Different work weeks
• Different public holidays

And they can also be more subtle such as:

• Friday afternoons off
• An aversion to business breakfasts

And then there are the issues of simply running businesses differently to comply with their local customs or local laws and regulations.
