Intercultural communication in business is important as organizations now have employees from diverse religious, social, ethnic, and educational backgrounds who bring different experiences and values to the workplace based on their cultures. If a company does not address and resolve conflicts arising from cultural differences, it can negatively impact performance and productivity. Effective intercultural communication is needed to help multicultural workforces understand elements like context cultures, dialects, and jargon that can vary between high and low context cultures and countries.
