Our event took place 26th October at the distinguished venue of the Embassy of The Netherlands in Sweden, located on Götgatan 16 A, Stockholm. The event that was free of charge, hosted by Blue Billywig and Beyondo.
Why This Event? In the ever-evolving corporate landscape, effective communication is the key to success. The ability to connect, understand, and engage with diverse talent is crucial within recruitment. Our session gathered insights from industry leaders, empowering you to excel in global communication. As a recruitment enthusiast, this topic is not just interesting but vital for sourcing top talents, and it resonates with Beyondo's vision of building exceptional team
The event was hosted at the Embassy of the Kingdom of The Netherlands in Sweden because of its symbolic role in bridging cultures. We have been living in The Netherlands and we value the Embassy's neutral platform for fostering understanding and promoting respectful dialogue.
We were pleased that, despite a full and important schedule, the Ambassador Mr. Bengt van Loosdrecht graced the event with a welcome word and a introduction to global communication.
In cooperation with the Netherlands Innovation House and the dedicated crew, Krisztina and John made the event possible.
Key takeaways to understand global communication include:
Showing Empathy and Respect: It's essential to demonstrate empathy and respect when communicating with people from different cultures. This fosters understanding and positive interactions.
Awareness of Cultural Differences: Educating your global organization about cultural differences is crucial. Recognize that a simple question like "How are you doing?" can be interpreted differently in various cultural contexts.
Willingness to Understand: Actively strive to understand others through listening and asking questions. This builds empathy and bridges communication gaps.
Avoiding Misunderstandings: Miscommunications due to cultural differences can lead to costly mistakes. Understanding and addressing these differences can prevent misunderstandings and their associated risks.
Let's Continue the Dialogue: Keep the conversation going. Maintaining an ongoing dialogue is key to promoting effective global communication.
We are planning a follow-up session to delve deeper into this topic. Remember that one message can be interpreted in various ways, and delivering the same message in different ways is essential for effectiveness, considering time zones.
