Intercultural Training USA

The USA—always known as the great 'Land of Unlimited Opportunities' and a 'melting pot' of many cultures. Perhaps this is precisely why the USA became a political and economic superpower—even the state of California alone ranks among the world's top five largest economies. Without a doubt, the USA is an important trading partner and an attractive consumer market for many companies, making it a worthwhile investment.

Since the USA has always been a country of immigrants, it maintains traditions and practices that represent a fusion of various cultures, even in everyday business.

In the trainings, your employees will learn to understand this cultural mix and successfully navigate the U.S. business environment.

And what do you say when someone sneezes in the room - or when you have to sneeze yourself? While at the same time keeping the issue of compliance under control?
