Organizational Culture: Cultural Conflicts in the Workplace

Human Resources Professionals play a significant role in the development and overall performance of their organizations. While supporting day-to-day operations, HR must handle and assist with conflicts resulting from cultural differences. These dilemmas must be addressed appropriately to support employee engagement and avoid negative consequences.

Research from leading theorists like Trompenaars and Hampden-Turner can help! In this previously recorded online HR community event, we discuss three cultural dimensions or dilemmas identified and defined by their work including Universalism vs. Particularism, Individualism vs. Communitarianism and Achievement vs. Ascription. Understanding these critical concepts as an HR Pro, can further enable you to resolve workplace cultural conflicts and drive positive outcomes.
