HRT126 - Generational and Cultural Impact to Business
Course Overview
Generational and cultural differences do exist. To what extent do they affect working and personal relationships? By traditional definitions, age defines the generations. Explore the differences and similarities between the generations. Learn how understanding the differences will work to your advantage.
Cultural Intelligence (CQ) is the ability to relate to and work across cultures. People with higher CQ are more successful at blending into diverse environments. People with high CQ can quickly adapt their behavior to fit with the environment. Learn how to enhance your cultural awareness and understand the effect of unconscious bias on workplace performance.
