MODULE SYNOPSIS
Nearly two-thirds (60%) of employers globally say that intercultural skills, or the ability to work effectively with individuals and organizations from cultural backgrounds different from their own, are very important to their organization, according to a new Ipsos Public Affairs poll (http://www.britishcouncil.org/sites/default/files/documents/culture-at-work-research.pdf).
This survey included employers working in public, private, and non -profit organizations in the US, Brazil, UK, South Africa, UAE, Jordan, India, China and Indonesia. Globally, employers primarily understand intercultural skills to be the ability to understand different cultural contexts and viewpoints (44%); demonstrating respect for others (35%); and knowledge of a foreign language (28%).The survey found that employers recognize clear business to hiring candidates with intercultural skills, business values such as keeping their teams running effectively (40%) and building trust and relationships with clients (35%) in employees with intercultural skills. Organizations whose employees lack these intercultural skills are more exposed to risks such as miscommunication between teams (37%) and damage to the organization’s reputation or brand (27%).
