Moving to a new country can be daunting enough, but to find that there are cultural differences, especially in the workplace, makes the challenge even greater.
An Introduction to Business and Culture in the US © is a course we have developed and implemented in company groups, families or individuals to promote the understanding of the differences between cultures in:
- business practices
- social customs
- verbal and non-verbal communication
- work-day encounters
- social practicalities
- recreational opportunities
Our course helps to increase the newcomer's productivity by enabling him or her to understand and better function within the American business system. It also introduces them to life outside the office, allowing them to integrate more effectively into their social community. Our participants receive a well-referenced course manual, an excellent resource during the integration process.
Our training sessions are custom-designed to meet each individual's specific needs. Through small workshops we offer role-play, interactive group discussions and relevant case studies in an interesting and fun environment.
With 40 years of business experience, primarily in Human Resources, the training staff at California Concierges is extremely qualified to provide the background and knowledge that will enhance the newcomers' success in their new environment. The founding partners put their experience to work for you. Tricia Lawrence and Nan Fuller have lived and worked both in the US and overseas, and know first hand the challenges of relocation.
