Should Language and Cultural Style Impact Performance Evaluations?

A couple of years ago, View Magazine called our series, Diversity: Creating Success for Business and People "one of the best products about diversity on the market." And customers agreed!

Now, we can offer you a follow-up series from the same company, ARMC.

Building a Diverse Workforce for the Global Millennium is a 20-volume series that covers a huge variety of diversity issues. Each program also presents critical business concepts like building trust and respect, performance appraisals, team building and leadership.

Program #1: "Do We Speak the Same Language? Should Language and Cultural Style Impact Performance Evaluations?"
