The training works on desktop, tablet or mobile phone so your staff can complete the training on their preferred device.
The training gives practical strategies for reducing misunderstandings caused by culture or language, both with clients and internally. It sets a clear organisational agenda for cross-cultural practices and creates an opportunity for you to make these practices routine.
