Intercultural Competence

Our Expertise / Intercultural Competence

Understanding between people with different backgrounds

Why is intercultural competence needed?

Misscommunication happens easily and lack of intercultural understanding risk:

  • Unnecessary alienation and conflicts.
  • International competence quits.
  • Losing competitiveness and service.

Instead, when new co-workers quickly get involved in the Swedish work life culture and they can use their full potential. In interactions between people with different backgrounds what is accustomed is challenged and this can result in innovation, better result and customized service.

Training to explain Sweden and handle differences

We train leaders and co- workers to:

  • Welcome differences and curiosity.
  • Communication techniques to increase understanding and avoid misunderstandings.
  • Understand different values and dare to look beyond right and wrong.
