Expatriate Cross-Cultural Orientation Programs
CultureSense International, Inc. expatriate cross-cultural
orientation programs enable the expatriate employees and their
families to successfully transition from one culture to another
by enabling them to understand the concept of culture; analyze
and identify the key characteristics of their own national
culture; recognize cultural differences as they affect life
issues; understand the dimensions of national differences;
understand differences in organizational cultures; recognize
the motivation and qualities that make for a successful expatriate
experience; understand and be able to respond to culture shock;
develop strategies for successful intercultural communication;
understand and be able to respond to reentry shock; and acquire
country-specific knowledge.
Expatriate cross-cultural orientation programs are conducted
in one and two-day sessions, or can be custom-designed based
on the needs of our clients. A needs assessment is conducted
over the telephone with the international human resources
consultant requesting the training, as well as with the participants.
This enables us to address all the needs of the clients during
the training session, as well as allowing us to customize
the program.
Customizing can be addressed in many different ways, for
example we can include a special children�s program, additional
emphasis on cross-cultural management, or specific spousal/family
concerns.
Our professionals will travel anywhere in the United States
or worldwide to conduct the training on site. Often, we will
spend one to two days with a family, in their homes, prior
to their departure. The training can also be conducted in
groups with multiple employees or multiple families who will
be expatriating to the same location.
The training can be conducted in English, and Spanish. Other
languages can be accommodated with the use of interpreters.
