Marcus,

Great job this week with your first discussion post. Cultural diversity is what makes the United States such a great place to live and work. Do you think other culturals are as excepting when Americans travel overseas to work? I have worked in several locations in the Middle East, and I did not feel as welcomed as I hoped. Thoughts?

Overall, I have enjoyed learning from you over the past six week and wish you well moving forward.

Best of Luck

Jen

Hi there Marcus and thanks for great insights with your post this week. You did a thorough job in noting the considerations when assessing in a multinational setting. Great point in regard to ways that organizations can mitigate legal risk by ensuing fair practices for assessing in a multinational setting. Including the use of a cultural expert as part of preparation, implementation, and review can help ensure the tools being used are fair in a cross-cultural sense (Scott & Reynolds, 2010). I agree with you on the mandatory need to employ assessment when working within a global context. I wonder how many companies limit the use and policies to ensure cultural/legal competencies due to cost prohibitions? It seems this would be a top priority though for not only hiring and promoting the right people but reducing the risk of legal recourse.

Thanks for sharing! All the best to you.
