CommBridge’s Intercultural Communication Training Program is designed to address these development needs.Having a high culturally diverse workforce poses significant challenges in how employees work and communicate with each other. An approach that is effective in another culture is not necessarily applicable to the other. Such differences can quickly contribute to miscommunications and conflicts between teams, eventually causing the company to lose time, resources, and people.Given the sheer scope of intercultural communication and the risks of ignoring and being unaware of these cross-cultural differences, it is only appropriate that employees learn corporate communication dynamics. To allow successful and professional performance across cultures, inclusivity must provide all employees with the requisite global competence (Hargie & Tourish, 2009).The intercultural communication training program of CommBridge will unpack the five phases of successful internal communication that are concrete and easily accessible global strategies that will help reduce the risks and obstacles posed by cross-cultural work at Opal-Mart.Scope of the trainingThe training is specifically designed for Opal-Mart’s store staff. It has been mentioned that the company experiences miscommunications among its employees. This program will not only enhance the communication skills of the participants but will also improve their interpersonal skills. Employees’ communication and interpersonal skills will influence whether or not they advance in their careers. An essential element of workplace growth, therefore, is investing in enabling employees to communicate effectively across different cultures. Doing so will increase their rank position as an Opal-Mart employee. for more information on Intercultural Communication check on this:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercultural_communication
