Why You Should Try To Work On A Multicultural Team by Heartscry(m): 7:12am On Sep 13, 2016
Do you know what it feels like to work with people from different backgrounds, mindsets, Language, religion? Or what it feels like to be part of a diverse workforce in leading organizations like google? Do you ever wonder how corporate firms with teams that comprise Asians, Africans, Americans, and Europeans thrive? Or how does a Nigerian, who travels to Brazil for an internshipopportunities.aiesec.org cope?



Working in a multicultural team has its pros and cons. It could present its challenges, but it also has its benefits. Below are five (5) key benefits you can enjoy by being part of a multicultural team:

1. Improves your employability index
Corporate entities of today have inculcated diversity of their workforce as a major vehicle to drive innovation and expand to other markets. Hence, it comes as an advantage to anyone who has some experience working in a multicultural team.

2. You become less stereotype and more culturally sensitive
Martino goes for an internship in Egypt. He works on a social impact project that involves training Internally Displaced Persons of terrorism attacks. Not only does he learn that the terror attacks don’t happen everywhere, he is shocked to discover that Egypt has a thriving economy. He also learns that Africa is a continent with over 50 countries including Nigeria. Furthermore, he learns to eat some cool Egyptian meals like amd wear beautiful attires and so much more. The same goes for an experience in China or Poland or Pakistan or Mexico or many other places. It literally changes our mindset!

3. Gain conflict resolution skills
Being part of a multicultural team presents its own unique set of conflicts. Providing solutions to such challenges demands a culturally sensitive approach. You improve your conflict resolution skills by working in a multicultural team. By handling conflicts in a culturally sensitive manner, in a way that fosters mutual respect, you develop the different styles of cultural conflict resolution skills which include
Win/lose, Problem solving, Avoidance, Accommodating and Compromising.

4. You can learn a new language
Imagine working in the same team with a Chinese or a Brazilian; I am pretty sure you would want to learn some basic conversational phrases in Chinese or Portuguese to foster effective communication between you and your teammates. Being able to effectively communicate with them will ensure high productivity and better results.

5. Expand your global network
Having contacts from different countries can come in handy in a number of ways: information about air tickets, immigration procedures, scholarship opportunities, accommodation bookings and even job opportunities. Or perhaps you want to go visit a friend sometime in the future. Take advantage of multicultural teams and build that network.
