The need for cultural training and support for assignees continues to grow. Yet mobility departments are being asked to do more with less.
GlobeSmart offers cost-effective training and support for global travelers, assignees, and the host-country teams receiving them.
“We use GlobeSmart to not only help people be more effective in their international skilled volunteering trips, but also to grow as more innovative and capable leaders…
We can’t recommend this tool and the team behind it enough!”
Not every assignee can receive personalized pre-departure training.
They can, however, measure their intercultural competence and build a plan for improving it with the Intercultural Effectiveness Scale (IES).
Assignees use the IES to evaluate their ability to interact effectively with people from different cultures. Then they receive practical advice based on their results.
Over 80% of executives experience communication challenges while working abroad. Prevent misunderstandings before they happen.
The GlobeSmart Profile assesses individual work-styles and compares them against average styles of nearly 100 cultures.
It then provides customized advice on key topics such as establishing credibility, building teamwork, and effective approaches to leadership.
“This is my first time working for an overseas company. I appreciate that our company takes the time to teach us and make us aware of the importance of cultural differences.
Not only does it help us in our daily work, but it makes me feel that our company is aware that we need to understand what we may not know about others and prepare us for future challenges.”
Do you have limited resources to prepare your global talent for assignments abroad?
GlobeSmart Culture Guides provide assignees with access to in-depth information on nearly 100 cultures.
Each guide covers 50 topics, including: communication, relationship building, working with customers and colleagues, managing meetings, persuading, negotiating, and more.
International assignees have limited time to prepare for their assignments.
GlobeSmart offers high-impact, engaging modules for employees going abroad.
Assignees will quickly benefit from modules such as Going on an International Assignment, the Guide to Self Selection and the Repatriation Toolkit.
