What is Cultural Competency?

Cultural competency is the ability to understand, respect, and work with people from different cultural backgrounds. It’s about recognizing that everyone has a unique cultural lens, and being able to navigate those differences with sensitivity and respect.

How it Applies to the Workplace

Cultural competency is key in today’s globalized workplace. Whether your team is working across borders or with a diverse local team, understanding cultural differences helps avoid misunderstandings and builds stronger relationships. Culturally competent workplaces are better equipped to innovate and communicate effectively, leading to improved morale and business outcomes.
