Cross Cultural Communication in the Workplace

Pre-Employment Skills for Newcomers Series

In partnership with ISSofBC's Job Quest and the Migrant Workers Centre, the Library is hosting a public webinar on Cross Cultural Communication in the Workplace.

Join the Library and IssofBC JobQuest this winter for a series of workshops to support newcomers who are seeking or entering the Canadian workforce.  The content of these workshops is focused on topics of special interest to newcomers to Canada however everyone is welcome to attend.

Culture plays an important role in how people communicate and understand others. Differing communication styles and cultural expectations can result in misunderstandings and lost opportunities. After exploring the role of culture and specific barriers to effective communication, resources and strategies will be presented to easily facilitate clearer and more confident workplace communication.
