Strengthen Remote Team Collaboration Through Cross-Cultural Empathy

🔴 Strengthen Remote Team Collaboration Through Cross-Cultural Empathy
📅 December 24 · 1 PM IST – Set Reminder ▶️

Remote and distributed teams bring together talent from different cultures, time zones, and communication styles. While this diversity is a strength, it can also lead to misunderstandings, misaligned expectations, and friction — especially when teams rely heavily on virtual communication.

This session focuses on building stronger remote collaboration through cross-cultural empathy. By making expectations explicit, clarifying decision-making, and sharing context intentionally, teams can work more smoothly, reduce conflict, and build trust across borders.
