Determining the Need for Customized Cultural Competency Training

Cultural competency refers to the ability to understand, communicate, and effectively interact with people of different cultural backgrounds. Benefits of this type if training include: better retention rates, better team dynamics, and less misunderstanding and miscommunication based on cultural differences.
