Why is intercultural Training so important?

With globalization and the development of remote exchanges, many employees have difficulty collaborating effectively with their foreign contacts, whether they are colleagues, clients or partners.
While the language barrier can be easily identified, the cultural barrier is often invisible. And yet the consequences can be serious: mergers and acquisitions that fail, trade negotiations that drag on, conflicts that slow down business, talent that leaves …

For a company, training its employees in how to decode cultural behavior is vital for succeeding in functional business exchanges!

With Gapsmoov, the objective of intercultural training is to facilitate exchanges between people of different nationalities.

Our solutions help highlight cultural trends, explain where they come from, and provide concrete solutions to successfully communicate and manage effectively in an international business context. And we manage to do all of this in a simple and fun way!

What is the Cultural Match Indicator?

An invention that you will only find at Gapsmoov! This indicator gives the cultural proximity between two countries. The higher the percentage, the closer their cultures. This figure is the result of an algorithm that combines the analysis of 18 cultural gaps weighted according to their level of importance, their risk versus success impacts, and the ability of individuals to adapt to these gaps.
