Introduction
Globalization has presented new challenges to organizations. One of the most critical issues is effectively building a global workforce that is competent and committed to the organization’s mission and objectives.
Workforces have become more culturally diverse. Even though an organization may have operations concentrated in a single country the mobility of talent results in people coming from other countries. They bring their cultural orientation with them and beliefs and values are not easily changed. As a result each organization must recognize cultural differences, respect the rights of people to have differing perspectives and reconcile the issues cultural diversity creates.
This 2-day seminar presents concepts, theories, principles and techniques for effectively managing a workforce globally. The focus is to identify effective strategies relating to staffing, development, performance management, remuneration management, legal/regulatory compliance and employee/ labor relations in globally dispersed and culturally diverse organizations.
