SERVICE PROGRAMS

Global Leadership
As companies continue to expand internationally, there is a greater need for leaders who have the experience and Global mindset to work in and across different cultures.

Leadership courses which build strategies, skills and competencies to succeed in the constantly changing global marketplace are customized and delivered to meet your needs.

Multicultural Team Development
Whether the multi-cultural team is domestic or global , cultural differences need to be considered. When multi-cultural teamwork is leveraged, the creative and innovative potential exists to out-perform a single culture team.

Webinars, seminars and courses are designed and delivered to strengthen the multi-cultural team.

Cultural Integration in Mergers and Acquisitions
Cultural differences in mergers and acquisitions are challenging and frequently not addressed pro-actively. Recognising, understanding and respecting those differences to build a new culture is critical for engagement and future business success and corporate growth.

Strategic leadership, cross-cultural coaching, mentoring and training are customized based on geography, region, culture and corporate requirements.

Relocation Training and Coaching
Pre-departure, on–arrival, re-patriation - all bring different challenges and opportunities. Managing and leading teams of in-pats on short or long term assignments requires special leadership, communication, performance accountability skills.

We provide customized services for all of these.

Understanding Religious Differences in the Workplace
To speak about religion is uncomfortable in this everchanging world and workplace. Becoming more comfortable with the uncomfortable is challenging, but also an opportunity to learn, grow and build a more respectful and inclusive workplace. Laraine Kaminsky will speak to this subject on your site. Interactive, non–threatening and great learning opportunities for your organisation.

These sessions will be customized for human resources professionals, employee resource groups, networks and leaders.

Understanding and including the multi-generational workforce
In a recent benchmarking study with 23 leading companies, 80 per cent deem generational diversity as a major management challenge – yet only a third offer training in this area. Addressing the complexity of generational and cultural diversity as intersections in global companies requires a strategy for the future well being and profitability of your organisation.

We can help you with this in creative and innovative interventions.
