This is the first in a two-part Business English Pod series on working in multicultural teams.

Your colleagues may do business differently than you do. لذا, knowing more about intercultural communication can help your work go more smoothly and avoid any misunderstandings.
في هذه الحلقة, we’ll go over some points to consider for working in a multicultural team. We’ll look at general business culture, specific business customs, levels of formality, and local cultural awareness. And since food is often served in business settings, we’ll talk about that, أيضاً.
