Culture is learned and varies from person to person. Every culture has something distinctive to offer. You need to have in-depth knowledge about the values, work culture, gestures, habits, consumer behaviour, language characteristics, and the political situation and social and business condition of particular countries for both hiring employees and sales & marketing process. These can help you to build openness to other perspectives and also will help in understanding that each individual is unique and you can find the way for tolerating the differences.
Also diversity can be understood as difference pertaining to culture, work environment, geographic, national origin. While cultural differences have either not been recognized or have been devalued so far. Awareness of the role heterogeneity plays in organizational effectiveness focus on diversity. The training programs that provide information on how to benefit from diverse perspectives need to see things from others points of view and to make appropriate external attributions.
