As we recruit internationally to fill specific niches, contract internationally for outsourced services, or hire from ethnically diverse pools, the communication conflict that accompanies varied accents and communication styles becomes a customer service and efficiency barrier. This session will discuss training and development strategies for communication and intelligibility, including setting performance guidelines and maintaining appropriate anti-discrimination practices.
