Working Across Culturess
TRACOM’s SOCIAL STYLE is a global resource for business improvement. The power of SOCIAL STYLE is in understanding behavioral differences and modifying our behavior to improve interactions with others. This can be especially important – and challenging — in international situations.
TRACOM offers a variety of international norms to reflect the culture and behavioral standards of individual countries and geographic regions. In doing so, people receive feedback that is most meaningful for them.
- TRACOM offers 85 SOCIAL STYLE Universal norms, which includes updates to 50 existing norms and the addition of 35 new norms.
- SOCIAL STYLE Profiles are offered in a wide variety of international languages. The use of local-country language results in more effective training programs.
Benefits of strategic global training include instituting a global culture among internationally operating corporations, creating a common suite of performance standard and establishing standardized, efficient business processes.
