There are several cultural barriers to effective communication in a multicultural workplace. Language barriers can cause misunderstandings as translation between languages is difficult and complex concepts may be lost. Hostile stereotypes can also hinder communication if inaccurate assumptions are made about individuals based on their cultural group. Additionally, differences in behaviors like eye contact, personal space and expectations around business discussions or emotional displays between cultures can lead to misunderstandings if these differences are not recognized and accounted for in interactions.

Communication barriers can be found everywhere in business, from the top down to middle management to external relationships. Communication breakdowns occur organizationally, such as when team members are isolated, or individually, when a person misinterprets or ignores what another is saying. They can arise from too many distractions at work or not enough clarity about a project.

2. In the multicultural workplace typical of doing business in a
global economy, cultural barriers to communication abound.
Besides the obvious difficulty in understanding people
whose language is different, there are other factors that
challenge people who are trying to work harmoniously with
others of a different background. People from different parts
of the world have a different frame of reference, and they
may display emotions differently and display different
behaviors.
3. 1. Language Barriers
Language is a very complex thing, and communication
between people speaking different languages is difficult.
Language is a way of looking at the world, and even skilled
translators can find it tricky to convey complex emotions
and concepts, which can lead to misunderstandings. When
you think about how often you misunderstand someone
speaking your language, you can imagine how hard it is to
get the full meaning from something a person with a
different cultural background is saying to you.
4. 2. Hostile Stereotypes
Inaccurate and hostile stereotypes of people from other
places can be a barrier to communication in the workplace.
Stereotypes are assumptions people make about the traits
of members of a group. For example, a stereotypical
American is thought to be impatient and arrogant as well as
friendly and tolerant. The danger is entertaining stereotypes
is that an individual is thought to possess characteristics
that are ascribed to the group. Obviously, not all Americans
are impatient and arrogant, nor are they all friendly and
tolerant. Prejudging an individual can lead to
misconceptions and barriers to communication.
5. 3. Behavior Differences
Behavioral differences between employees of different
cultures can cause misunderstandings. Every culture has
guidelines about what is considered appropriate behavior.
In some cultures, looking someone in the eye when they
are talking to you is considered rude, while in other
cultures refraining from doing so is considered
disrespectful. Getting right to the point at a business
meeting may be considered impolite by some, who expect
to have" small talk" before the business discussion.
Likewise, in some cultures, people talking to each other
give each other space, while in other cultures, they stand
close. These differences can be barriers to effective
communication if they are not recognized.
6. 4. Emotional Display
What is considered an appropriate display of emotion can
differ from culture to culture. In some countries, displaying
anger, fear or frustration in the workplace is considered
inappropriate in a business setting. People from these
cultures keep their emotions hidden and only discuss the
factual aspects of the situation. In other cultures,
participants in a discussion are expected to reveal their
emotions. You can imagine what misunderstandings can
arise if a businessperson displays strong emotion in the
company of employees who feel that such behavior is out of
place.
