"Creating harmony through cross-cultural understanding."

CultureSense International, Inc. provides a wide range of intercultural programs of study and consulting services for international corporations, small businesses, educational institutions, and individuals.

Expatriate Cross-cultural Orientation Programs enable the expatriate employees and their families to successfully transition from one culture to another by enabling them to develop an understanding of the concept of culture and intercultural communication, the notions of national differences and values orientations, differences in organizational cultures, the psychological processes of cross-cultural transition, and country-specific knowledge. With these tools, the expatriate employees and their families will be able to fully enjoy their experience, and function effectively in their new environment.

USA Culture Training Programs enable incoming businesspeople and their families to acquire an understanding of the beliefs, values and attitudes of Americans, the history, geography, education and customs of the United States, thereby acquiring the skills to successfully work and live in the United States.

Repatriation Consulting and Training Programs enable the returning expatriate employees and their families to understand the psychological , workplace, and social issues involved in repatriation. Repatriation often causes more difficulty than expatriation due to the fact that the readjustment processes of returning home are generally unexpected, and if not addressed properly immediately upon return, can result in failure to perform at work as well as family difficulties.
