Cultural Differences Between India And USA : Ways To Navigate The Differences in The Workplace

SAN DIEGO - Sept. 6, 2023 - PRLog -- The cultural differences between India and USA lead to a lot of friction between global employers and Indian talents. However, there are several professionals in India who are trained as per the West's work culture. Uplers is helping such businesses find their ideal cultural fit in a faster and reliable way.

The contrasting cultural differences between India and USA play a major role in talent acquisition strategies. Global employers from USA want to leverage the Indian talent pool but fear that their hire may not be able to integrate well within the organization. There are several cultural differences at work between the two countries that prove to be a hurdle to effective remote hiring:

Respecting the hierarchy Indians are known to respect the hierarchy in the organization, which stems from their family culture where everybody respects the elders. This respect influences their work habits, the flow of information, and decision-making.

High context communication
Working with Indians means dealing with a high context form of communication at the workplace, where everybody follows a respectful tone, uses body language and non-verbal cues to share their viewpoints. In such a culture, debates are usually avoided during conversations to avoid any altercations.

So how to deal with different cultures in the workplace? Here are a few things that can be done:

Create awareness
Every organization has its own work culture and it is up to them to create awareness about it. The culture must be propagated across all levels of the organization and shared across social media to build employer identity. This will help new recruits understand how to work at the organization.

Develop trust
Maintain transparency with all employees regarding the work culture and welcome all kinds of feedback. Be sure to implement this feedback to create a harmonious workspace.
