CIPD updates guide on international culture

In Lancaster v TBWA Manchester, the EAT held that the employer was not in breach of the duty to make reasonable adjustments for a disabled employee by not adjusting its redundancy selection criteria.

The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) has revised its guide on international culture. The Guide highlights that when taking an international assignment, or working with people from other cultures, it is important that employees spend time understanding the nature of the culture in which they are going to operate, together with the people with whom they will interact, and how this needs to impact on their approach.

The Guide advises that Individuals should seek to broaden their awareness of cross cultural issues and be aware of the various traps they might fall into such as stereotyping and judging individual behaviour within their own cultural concepts.
