Communicate With Staff From Diverse Backgrounds

Post by Jelly73 » Mon Nov 09, 2015 12:32 pm

Hi all, I hope you can help me get started on an answer I'm looking for.
The question is show how I communicate effectively with colleagues from diverse backgrounds & with diverse abilities.

So I know how to communicate with respect & having an understanding & learning more about their backgrounds but I just don't know how to word it correctly.
Or get it started at least.
Any advice would be really appreciated, thanks

There are a number of important considerations that need to be kept in mind in relation to
“communicating with colleagues of CALD ( culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds for example;
• Everyone has a cultural identity, however it is not always recognised or defined by the
person themselves. Sometimes, culture is seen simply as “just the way we do things”.
• Culture and cultural identity are dynamic and constantly changing
• While culture plays an important role in influencing beliefs, values and behaviour, there are
a number of other factors that are also important - these factors are referred to in a later
section of this paper
• Given these other factors, there are differences within any culture
• People may be influenced by and identify with more than one culture or cultural group
• It is the choice of the individual as to which culture they identify with regardless of their
cultural background.

xoxo Good luck!
