Event Details

This session delves into the intricacies of cultural diversity and effective communication. Attendees will explore the fundamental principles of recognizing and respecting the diverse cultural backgrounds of their co-workers, associate partners, and residents. The session emphasizes that what might initially appear as conflict often stems from cultural differences rather than genuine discord. Participants will gain insights into navigating these differences with sensitivity and respect.
