Country Specific Cultural Awareness Training

Why Country Specific Training is Important


It is essential that companies entering new international locations fully understand the drivers and expectations of their international target audiences and potential overseas’ employees.

Cultural blunders are less acceptable in our increasingly global economy and the significant miscommunications caused by cultural errors are not so easily forgiven.  The application of a ‘this is how we do it at home’ approach will potentially result in an array of mishaps, including but limited to;  failed expatriate assignments, failed negotiations, rejection by local employees, loss of investment and in some instances loss of reputation.

Entering international markets with a sophisticated degree of intercultural competence and a detailed understanding of the cultural expectations will therefore go a long way in helping a company to drive their business successfully.

How do our Country Specific Cultural Awareness Training Courses benefit your Company?

Commisceo’s Country Specific Cross Cultural Training programmes will equip your staff with an understanding of the new culture within which they will be operating and a strategies to help them navigate and deliver their international objectives successfully.

The broad scope of potential courses under this remit will form essential learning for international project managers, procurement staff managing international suppliers, expatriates, country managers, staff with responsibility for the negotiation of international contracts and those with international sales responsibilities.

Course Content

Our courses are designed and tailored specifically to accommodate your unique business needs.  Since they are not ‘off the shelf’, the list below provides an outline only as to what may be potentially covered.

Our courses cover all global countries from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe and everywhere in between:

An overview of the target country in respect to geography, demographics, political history, religion and economy
Business culture of the target country; including approach to time management, communication styles, hierarchy, teamwork managing ambiguity, physical space, individualism versus collectivism
Approaches to negotiation and meetings
Managing business teams or suppliers within the target country
Strategies for ensuring successful remote teamwork with target country 
Areas most likely to cause cultural offence – the do’s and don’ts
Managing differences positively
Building appropriate business relationships

What Generic Forms might the Training Take?

Our training programmes take a number of forms. Under this umbrella, our country specific cultural awareness programmes are most typically targeted at:

Leaders / Strategists
Teams
Negotiators
Sales People
Outbound expatriates
Procurement staff
Remote team managers

Who are the Commisceo Trainers?

Our trainers are quite simply the best intercultural practitioners.  Our selection criteria demands both extensive experience of training delivery to a broad portfolio of international organisations coupled with a professional qualification relevant to the intercultural field.  Our high standards will give you the comfort that your training investment will generate high returns for your organisation.

What Training Methodologies do we Use?

During diagnostic discussions with the client, our trainers will determine the most suitable training methods to meet participant needs and training objectives.  Approaches which meet the needs of one particular company may not meet the needs of another; making the diagnostic session critical when developing successful training programmes. A client who needs their staff to be able to negotiate successfully with Middle Eastern prospects may choose, for example, to create a ‘live scenario’ in which delegates ‘negotiate’ with a group of Middle Eastern actors.  Such sessions are a sure way to truly challenge delegates and ensure that they have the opportunity to practice their skills and knowledge within the context of a ‘safe’ setting. For clients who have staff dialling into a course from around the world, pre-work and discussion within a webinar context may be the most important factors when delivering the training. Commisceo will work with you to determine the most appropriate methods and tools.

Title: Equality & Diversity Training Courses
Description: Respected equality & diversity training provider, Commisceo Global, help clients with courses on inclusion, equal opportunities and cultural awareness.
H1: Training on Equality, Diversity & Discrimination

Workplace diversity is a hot issue for many of our clients. As businesses and organisations become more international, they become more multicultural. If this meeting of cultures is left unmanaged it can sometimes lead to challenges, whether legal, performance or morale related.

Adopting a coherent and positive approach to workplace cultural diversity is fundamental to ensuring the people dynamics match the needs of the organisation.

Our clients come to us needing help with developing policies, best practices, training courses and educational content around the topic of equality and diversity.

We focus on culture, nationality, faith and teamwork within equality as opposed to areas such as disability and sexuality.

The majority of our work carried out within cultural diversity, equality and inclusion is done so in order to “fix” a workplace issue; this means that there are no off-the-shelf solutions. We work with stakeholders to better understand problems, forces involved, objectives, practical constraints, etc and from there design courses to address their specific issues.

To discover how we can help you or your organisation, please contact one of the team and we’ll talk you through what we can do for you.

Due to popular demand we currently offer 3 diversity-themed training courses which are available as off-the-shelf solutions or as frameworks upon which we add further bespoke elements.
