Cultural changes in an organization can be tackled using below;

 

1) Communication: Providing information accurately and promptly is critical to effective work and team performance. This is particularly important when a project is troubled and needs immediate corrective actions. However, people from different cultures vary in how.

2) Team-building: Some cultures – like the United States – are individualistic, and people want to go it alone. Other cultures value cooperation within or among other teams. Team-building issues can become more problematic as teams are comprised of people from a mix of these cultural types. Effective cross-cultural team-building is essential to benefiting from the potential advantages of cultural diversity in the workplace

3) Time: Cultures differ in how they view time. eg, they differ in the balance between work and family life, and the workplace mix between work and social behavior. Other differences include the perception of overtime, or even the exact meaning of a deadline. Different perceptions of time can cause a great misunderstanding and mishap in the workplace, especially with scheduling and deadlines. Perceptions of time underscore the importance of cultural diversity in the workplace, and how it can impact everyday work.

You need to remember two things concerning cultural diversity:

  • It can be difficult to address cultural differences without resorting to stereotypes. Stereotypes should not exist, as no person is exactly like another person and no individual is a clone of another member of a group.
  • As diversity in an organisation grows, so does the complexity of communication and the necessity to make greater effort in developing improved communication skills.

Diversity can create opportunities for character development by teaching tolerance and respect and encouraging concern for equity for people from culturally diverse backgrounds.

 Don't worry, nothing required specially. According to my work experience with MNCs, with diversified cultures, everything moving smoothly without any special attention to either policies nor training. The impact Globalization evaporated all cultural differences.
