Types of Intercultural Issues in the Workplace


Cultural diversity in workplace can not only have a positive impact on creativity and productivity, but also produce conflict and teamwork challenges.
Implicit Discrimination
Implicit discrimination is subtle because some people who is implicit discriminating may not recognize it. It comes from idea, association from other people's minds.
Communication
Differences often emerge in the language people use, and communication can become a problem in workplaces where some workers speak English as a second language.
Education
Differences may exist between two groups. One is the employees who is successful in academic diploma or degree and another one is the people who is not professional in job experience.
Personal Background
Where an employee lives or was born can contribute a big cultural difference in workplace. There may be a distinct difference between the employee from a small town and the employee from large metropolis.
