Harassment Prevention Workshops

• Harassment Prevention
  You can take an active role in maintaining your organization's productivity and reputation by preventing unwelcome behavior of a sexual or other nature.

It reinforces your company's harassment prevention policy and procedures.

Cross-Border Communication Workshop

A two-day, highly interactive workshop

The cultural boundaries in business are ever expanding. You may be traveling more internationally for your firm. Perhaps you employ international sales staff. Or your HR and management personnel work with increasing numbers of locally hired foreign-born staff.

Such global business situations accelerate the need for cross-cultural knowledge to enable you to communicate productively with international business partners and/or employees.

This specialized two-day workshop by Debora Bloom Associates is designed to give you a perspective on how people from other countries think and speak. We will help you develop the necessary skills - and understanding - for doing business successfully with colleagues from around the world.

This unique workshop will allow you to:

• Put aside your American lenses and consider the position of your colleagues or employees from other countries
• Recognize cultural assumptions
• Understand the perspectives of overseas competitors
• Avoid costly misunderstandings
• Expand your inter-cultural communications capability
