I's not a problem because its 21 century world is a Global Village. we know various culture, most of us use common Language. 

 

Another thing is that Dubai is a center point where people gather from different country, culture and test. 

 

So its easy to manage multilingual team easily in place of Dubai.

First, agree on a common language, which in this case would English. 2.select individuals from different ethnicicities who are conservant with the English language and make them the representative or spokesmen/women of the other employees from his/her nationality. These selected individuals will help you relate with the other colleagues as the rest will air out their opinions and concerns to the representative and he/she will come and address them to you in the language that you both can understand each other. Hope that was helpful, cheers..
