A blog designed to support globally minded communication professionals with insight into the global communication strategies that lead to desired behavior and positive end-user outcomes. We write and invite experts to write in about global communication topics in healthcare, corporate communications and marketing, as well as best practices in localization and process management.

Our topics may vary, but our focus is always on the advocacy for the communications professional; to empower them with the tools and best practices to be a global leader and make a difference in the outcomes of the end-user.

Corporate Communications Blog

Global Corporate Communications include topics like Employee Benefit Communications, Public Relations, Change Management, Employee and Customer Satisfaction surveys, Employee Engagement, etc. Global Benefit Consultants have an edge in our industry by understanding the complex logistics of global communications. What we intend with this blog is to give professionals insights into translation and localization specific knowledge that can help them in achieving process efficiency and quality. Global Communications benefit from being proactive and knowledgeable about the risk factors in the translation industry and be a better advocate for the employees and managers that their clients want to engage with.

Cross-Cultural Communication

Cross-Cultural Communication

When thinking about cross-cultural communication it is easy to fall into the trap of thinking in stereotypes. Research has shown that – although there are differences between cultures – they are not so straightforward. The three most salient dimensions for studying cross-cultural communication are: power distance, individualism/collectivism, and level of context.
