Multicultural project teams often face problems with communication, expectations and values. How do you think some of these challenges can be overcome? Solution The Challenges can be overcome by following the several stepsStep 1 Run meetings to expose the working team to other cultures. Introducing working team who will be working together in a non-threatening environment enables a good working relationship long term.
Learning about another culture's language, rules and norms for acceptable behavior helps prepare the team to deal with situations as they arise. Changing preconceptions can lead to more conducive working relationships. Step 2 Conducting activities to demonstrate how dependent we are on language.
For example, dedicate a day to being silent. Have each employee develop a contract stating what they hope to learn, how long they will remain silent what exceptions can be made and how they plan to cope without speaking all day. After experiencing a day with limited communication, participants can typically relate to being in a foreign environment more easily. Step 3 Providing workshops, tips and techniques for communicating effectively in multi-cultural work environments.
People act according to the values of their own culture. Others from another culture might interpret behavior differently. Practicing such strategies as active listening paraphrasing what is said to ensure understanding can be achieved and using multiple forms of communication, such as written, audio and visual, can enhance employee Department of Finance Page 24 involvement in assuring that conflicts do not arise because of cultural misunderstandings due to lack of awareness.

Encourage each pair to think about a conflict they have experienced recently due to cultural differences. Have each participant describe what they might find offensive or unusual.
Let each participant suggest how the problem would be handled in their own culture. Together, have the participants develop a resolution to the problem. Have each pair report to the larger group on their experiences.
