Myths and Realities: What are the things to consider related to host country nationals

Expecting a "red carpet" welcome when relocating abroad? Think again. Join us on "Two Chaps Many Cultures" as we dismantle the common myths that expats face and highlight the importance of cultural intelligence in ensuring seamless integration. We'll share our personal experiences and insights into how organizations can either support or obstruct this process, depending on their cultural training strategies. Learn about the different leadership styles and how to manage expectations to minimize friction and foster a harmonious work environment. Together, we'll explore how mutual cultural learning is key to successful transitions and effective teamwork.

In this episode, we also challenge the misconception that all team members in a host location share the same cultural behavior. Dive into the rich tapestry of global workplace dynamics with us as we stress the importance of cultural training for both expats and home country nationals.  Whether you're an expat, an HR professional, or involved in global mobility, this episode offers invaluable insights into managing expectations and responsibilities for host country nationals
