This workshop will explore the various elements of cultural awareness and inclusion in a hybrid work environment. We’ll discuss the impact of globalism, changes in communication technology, and the importance of being mindful of our biases when interacting with colleagues from different cultures. We’ll also dive into cross-cultural communication, understanding the importance of effective verbal and non-verbal communication styles.

Most people need to learn about hybrid work and cultural sensitivities because an inclusive environment is dynamic. It’s constantly evolving, changing, and adapting to today’s landscape of cultural norms. The key to creating an inclusive hybrid work environment is understanding how different cultures interact to better understand how to appropriately respect everyone’s unique perspectives, values, beliefs, and communication styles.

During this 30-minute workshop, we’ll discuss globalism’s impact, communication technology changes, and the importance of being mindful of our biases when interacting with colleagues from different cultures.
