As a multinational company providing international online marketing service, it is increasingly important for effective world to improve the cross-cultural communication skill of its employees. ‘Cross-cultural communication skill’ or, also called ‘intercultural communication skill’ is not as simple as mastering several languages at all. With the development of business, more and more effective branches have been established in different countries. More and more people from diverse cultural backgrounds have been joining the team. How to make better use of this multi-cultural existence, even achieve mastery through establishing a mechanism to encourage such communication within the company, at the same time enabling our clients worldwide to benefit from it. This is one of the most important issues being discussed now in effective companies.

In addition to the establishment of the effective Institute Of Intercultural Competence, there has already been more and more internal communication among effective companies. Programs such as employee exchanges between the European and Asian branches, or company organized vacations in other effective company’s countries, has managed to enhance mutual understanding, and improve an employee’s intercultural communication skill and working ability.
