In a globalised economy, organisations have recognised the importance of being able to adapt and work across cultures with confidence. Learning to cope in any culture is a highly valued competency. People have long understood that success in today’s globalised economy requires cultural awareness and the ability to adapt to different cultures and a whole range of other diversity-related issues as well. We need employees who are able to Adapt, Cope & Enjoy the diversity work environment.
