September 13, 2020
Today’s workforce needs the skills to lead in increasingly diverse cultural and geographical spaces. Aside from diversity and inclusion increasing a sense of fairness in the workplace, increasing diversity increases profitability.
Now, with Business Cultural Intelligent Quotient (BCIQ), educators have a quick and reliable way to assess test taker’s cultural knowledge, aptitude for jobs requiring cross-cultural interaction, and perform and strive in international settings effectively.
BCIQ can significantly enhance learning in Cross-Cultural Management, International Negotiations, and similar courses and training programs. The test results can be used to assess the test taker’s readiness for the international workplace and identify skills and competencies that need more development.
