Cultural Spotlight: working with Spanish colleagues and partners

BBi Communication member of the Swedish-Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Barcelona presents “Cultural Spotlight: working with Spanish colleagues and partners”, a workshop for people and companies living in Spain or working with Spanish employees.

Working with people from different cultures requires awareness and understanding of business approach, communication, and leadership styles. Spanish culture is known for their people-oriented focus, flexible approach to time and their eclectic mix of identities. Understanding the values and attitudes of Spanish business culture will facilitate the collaboration with Spanish colleagues and partners. This workshop aims to increase participants’ intercultural competence when working with Spaniards by exploring the peculiarities of Spanish culture, its manifestations in the workplace, and how to successfully manage cultural differences.
