Overview

Your Employees will be able to

Build individual cultural profiles with a brief survey to discover how personal preferences relate to cultural norms in the host country.
Learn about the eight dimensions of culture (such as formal vs. informal, interpersonal vs. transactional), with explanations and examples – immediately see how assignees can avoid embarrassing and confusing situations.
Get the facts with our in-depth country research and explore local customs, the role of religion, home life, gift giving, greetings and much more.
Mentally prepare for life abroad, including cultural adjustment, and create a customized checklist of activities and tasks to complete before expatriation or repatriation.
Complete a confidential self-assessment defining their personal attributes to enable them to be more effective on assignment.

Covering cross-cultural competencies along with personal and professional considerations, evaluate employees’ readiness for living and working in a new country, before taking on the assignment with the Self-Assessment for Global Endeavors (SAGE) tool. CultureWizardPassport includes the SAGE tool.
