Intercultural Selection Processes
Thursday, May 14, 2009
Facilitated by Binnie Singh and Mikael Villalobos
Managers are challenged to understand and develop skills to respond to the needs of a multicultural workforce. In the important task of hiring the best candidate for a job, managers must be aware of how culture affects the way people communicate throughout the selection process. This workshop will help managers assess their own cultural values and explore how they affect the recruitment, interviewing and selection processes.
Part of the Cross-Cultural Competence Certificate Series
Cultural competence is defined as a set of behaviors, attitudes, and policies that help organizations and staff work effectively with people of different cultures. This series explores the rich dynamics of cross cultural interactions and provides participants with knowledge and skill to increase their effectiveness in relating across cultural differences. Those who complete five of the workshops in the series will receive a certificate of participation.
