Cultural Training for Japanese

The differences between Japanese and other cultures’ professional styles are significant and can prove challenging for Japanese who are working globally. Our training can help your employees to increase their effectiveness by enabling them to better understand the global environment and equipping them with concrete skills for improving communication.

All of our training programs for Japanese participants are presented in Japanese, with bilingual participant materials. Our unique session format, the result of intensive development work throughout the past 25 years, presents information about global cultures and business practices in a way that is proven to resonate with Japanese audiences.

We all take our own culture for granted until we experience that of others. Our basic session for Japanese who are working with non-Japanese colleagues, customers, suppliers, and partners presents some of the key distinguishing features of Japanese business culture, opening the door to a world of alternative values and viewpoints. We help participants identify differences in communication styles, feedback techniques, attitudes toward risk, decision-making approaches, and teamwork patterns through cultural dimensions, scales that compare a variety of cultures in an intuitive graphical format. Orienting themselves around these dimensions increases participants’ awareness of their own cultural style, and serves as a basis for strategizing how to best bridge cultural gaps. The material is presented through case studies to keep it practical and interesting. Throughout the session, participants are coached on how to increase the quality and quantity of their interactions with non-Japanese. This course is essential for those who are transferring to work overseas, building business relationships with companies outside of Japan, interfacing with subsidiaries or a parent company located overseas, or welcoming non-Japanese staff into their workplace.
