Communicaid offers a valuable service which addresses the specific cultural concerns a family may have when relocating. Cadbury Schweppes feel the courses are so valuable that we encourage our expats to attend a full training programme. We have only ever received positive feed back from assignees who have attended the sessions and all have said it made their transition easier.
International Assignments Department, Cadbury SchweppesCommunicaid’s Living & Working in Russia courses are designed to respond to the needs of international assignees moving to Russia by providing practical information and advice on the various aspects of living and working in Russia, as well as conveying an understanding of the underlying elements that shape Russian culture inside and outside the workplace.
The world’s largest country with the greatest natural resources, Russia is a complex nation encompassing diverse territories at different stages of development. After the fall of Communism and the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia’s global role was greatly diminished and it was plagued by economic crisis and armed ethnic conflicts.
More than a decade later, Russia is now achieving consistent economic growth and standards of living have greatly improved making it a very attractive location for foreign investment. However, relocating to a country with such different cultural values can be extremely challenging to the uninitiated and failure to understand and adapt to Russian culture may cause misunderstanding and frustration to anyone living and working in Russia.
Ensure a successful international assignment in Russia by learning more about Russian business and social culture.
