THE CULTURAL AWARENESS SEMINAR:  BUILDING CULTURAL COMPETENCE

Cultural differences are often expressed and experienced as personal
conflict.  Employees who don't understand cultural differences don't
communicate well with each other, with clients, or management, reducing
the efficiency of the company.  Employees who feel uncomfortable and
undervalued become dissatisfied and spread their resentment to others,
thereby hurting company morale.  They may sabotage the organization and
its goals, provoke conflict with others, and seek to litigate their
conflicts.  Understanding and valuing cultural differences will improve
communication, encourage cooperation, reduce conflict, and build
productive teams.
