Cultural Competence

Cultural Competence includes the ability to understand how cultural differences shape our worldview and appreciate and adapt to cultural differences. Due to increasing diversity, individuals need to be able to move beyond awareness to be able to build on differences and to work well together.

Why is this skill critical for the workplace?

• Value of cultural differences appreciated
• Increased workplace innovation
• Higher ability to take and receive feedback from others

By improving cultural competences in the workplace, you can:

• REFLECT on biases
• LEARN how to avoid prejudices
• VALUE cultural differences

Cultural Competence is one of eight Relational Skills that together equip employees to work well together and do so in a way that builds trust, creates a respectful workplace, supports inclusion, and helps employees manage effectively in an ever-changing, increasingly digital and global world.
