Cultural Sensitisation Programs

We have a number of Cross-Culture workshops suited for multi-national corporates that operate within or in contact with India. These workshops are designed to generate an effective mindset among people of the organization to gain awareness of differences between their own personal cultures and the cultures they work with, and calibrate stronger synergies by maximizing the potential of multicultural teams. We do this through workshops and team building exercises. We also support organisations with identifying effective CSR partner organisations, aligning them with their own organizational core values. And we help foreign companies explore India as a business venue for a variety of purposes.

INDIAN CULTURE SENSITISATION

Indian Culture, including work culture, is intriguing and hard to decipher for foreigners. In modern India, the lack of understanding of Indian work culture has proven itself to be the biggest obstacle in creating effective teams and collaborative environments. Our Indian Culture Sensitisation workshops are designed and delivered by Cultural Anthropologists, Historians and Psychologists, and offer deep insights into the ways of India.

The programs cover a variety of topics including History, Work, Day-to-Day Life, Conversations / Small Talk, Etiquette, Core Values, National Pride, Entertainment, Problem Solving and Essential Social Skills. We also go into deeper subjects like The Caste System, the Status of Women, History, and other factors that are strong undercurrents influencing India’s day-to-day workings. They focus on culture gaps between the audience and Indian Culture, and help bridge these these gaps by infusing greater appreciation.

SOFT SKILLS TRAINING

Do your employees’ soft skills contribute to the success of your organization? Do they have the common sense, people skills and attitude that positively impacts their interactions with co-workers, partners and clients? Stanford Research Institute and the Carnegie Mellon Foundation conducted studies among Fortune 500 CEOs to learn that 75% of long term job success resulted from soft skills and only 25% from technical skills (Sinha, 2008).

The Soft Skills training programs offered by us are modular and customizable, and have continually proven to enhance overall employee confidence and efficiency.
At a basic level, our trainers offer to cover the areas of Manners, Courtesy, Communication, Interpersonal Skills, Adaptability, Attitude Alignment, Professionalism, Team Work, Ethics, Dining Etiquette, Dress & Grooming (to name a few). At a deeper level, we also bring in trainers that help develop techniques for better mental and emotional caliber, through Meditation and Mindfulness.

CSR SUPPORT

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs of India introduced the Enactment of Companies Act, 2013, one of the world's largest experiments of imposing the mandatory obligation on Companies to take up CSR work.

We help companies in India identify the right organisations to engage with and also help create plans for the company to create awareness of CSR undertakings among employees, and increase employee engagement and participation. We work with you to identify areas that match with your organization’s passions and core values (women, children, destitute, sickness etc), and initiative types (empowerment, volunteering, education, charity etc). Once the right mapping is done, we create programs working closely with you and support you throughout the rollout process as liaison officers working between you and the supported organization.
