Practical examples made the training real for me, giving me key areas to focus in on to maximise success and minimise impact due to cultural dilemmas. Awesome!
Karen Mackenzie, Quality Manager, Cadbury Schweppes (UK)aCommunicaid’s Living & Working in India courses are designed to respond to the needs of international assignees by providing practical information and advice on the various aspects of living and working in India, as well as conveying an understanding of the underlying elements that shape Indian culture inside and outside the workplace.
Indian culture is a complex one, having been shaped by a variety of influences ranging from Hindu philosophy to British colonialisation over thousands of years. More recently, spectacular economic growth and the explosion of offshore outsourcing in India have brought even greater economic and social changes to India and its population. An international assignment to India is an exciting but challenging prospect and you will need to adapt immediately to a new set of cultural rules including different attitudes to status and hierarchy, communication styles and time management. Failure to do so may cause misunderstanding and frustration to anyone living and working in India.
Ensure a successful international assignment in India by learning more about Indian business and social culture.
