The world is turning into more of a global village. It is common to find people from different backgrounds and locations converging in the same workplace. This diversity, encouraged in businesses, still can prove a cause of poor communication. Different cultures have their own way of interpreting things, especially with nonverbal language. For instance while pointing with the index finger is normal to Americans, the Asians consider it rude. If the company does not bridge the differences, there is a danger that misunderstandings will arise.
