How to Speak Effectively 2023 - How to Speak Effectively in a Diverse Workplace

Globalization and technology have created an increasingly diverse workplace. As the world population grows and our connectivity increases, it is common to work alongside colleagues from different generations, life experiences, cultures, genders, orientations, and religions. The increased diversity coupled with the shift toward remote and hybrid work environments means it's more critical than ever to develop appropriate communication strategies and practices. Workers must be able to communicate in a way that ensures comprehension and inclusion with audiences from a variety of cultures. However, the methods to navigate and influence these conversations are not always intuitive.
This webinar will teach you to identify and adapt your own communication style to not only increase team productivity but also build bridges with colleagues from all backgrounds.
A multilingual workforce presents unique challenges. With multilingual teams, miscommunication can happen frequently, and employees may have preconceived ideas about co-workers from different countries and cultures. Unclear or inadequate communication can also lead to dangerous situations, where employees have, for instance, difficulties understanding security protocols.
This webinar will show you how you can communicate effectively with your employees and other business affiliates including customers, clients, investors, and associates.
You will explore how you can stimulate effective communication with others. You will receive practical and actionable tools you can use immediately so your message is understood, well received, and acted on.
