OVERCOMING CULTURAL DIFFERENCES The impact cultural differences can have on a transferee’s assignment cannot be overestimated. It is not uncommon for a new transferee to return home because their partner or children were unhappy; one whose communication at work has created barriers in their team; or one who simply finds the cultural differences overwhelming upon arrival. Engaging the services of an organization that provides cross-cultural training and services may prevent the above situations from occurring, or ease an uncomfortable situation that may have already developed. Cross cultural training provides information, insights, and strategies for participants to build inter-cultural competence and prepare them for the challenges of managing such a major transition.
