Today’s business world is increasingly globalized, and thanks to a changing economy, the ease of international travel and new communication technology, employees in the U.S. are often interacting, both in-person and via phone and technology, with people from around the globe.
Despite the benefits of these interactions, as well as their necessity, there are hurdles along the way, particularly as employees face challenges in how they communicate and collaborate with international business associates and partners.
