Experience Diverse Workplaces
Always citizens of a melting pot, we are more likely than ever to live in multicultural neighborhoods and to work with people from many other countries. Here are some suggestions for getting comfortable with increasingly diverse workplaces:
--Travel outside the U.S. and experience other cultures firsthand. Don't be surprised when you see that values are much the same wherever you go.
--Attend a diversity workshop for pointers about communicating, relating, and being sensitive to cultural differences.
--Read about other cultures and their mannerisms, particularly in the business climate. Simple things like the use of business cards can be quite different from culture to culture.
--Join a university's international club or host students from other countries. There's no better way to learn about other countries than by developing personal relationships.
