Low cost, high value cultural training

Globalization has led to an increase in cross-cultural work environments, moving away from the traditional single-country cultural setting and the associated challenges. When seeking cultural solutions, fostering productive relationships, promoting cultural awareness, and embracing diversity across various cultures and teams are essential for achieving business success.

In the past, cultural training for international employees in the 1990s and early 2000s involved extensive in-person classroom sessions lasting 25, 50, or even over 100 hours, either individually or in small groups, costing between $3,000 and $5,000. Between 2010 and 2016, there was a shift towards a blended approach combining in-person training with online resources, which reduced costs to around $2,500 to $3,500 per student.

By 2017, virtual training with online resources emerged as a cost-effective solution for providing valuable cultural training to multinational workforces, a trend that has become more prominent post-pandemic.

Today, companies continue to recognize the significance of offering cultural training through online self-paced courses and virtual coaching, with costs ranging from $250 to $1,500, depending on the specific assignment and budgetary constraints.
