-- Des McKell, SVP Advisory & Global Partnerships

In today’s workforce environment, two things are certain: the growing diversity of global teamwork requires a keen understanding of intercultural perceptions and communication – and technology is becoming more important than ever to make intercultural training easy, accessible and effective. NetExpat is committed to providing both priorities to our clients and their employees, so we’re thrilled to have won a coveted FEM Americas EMMAs award this year for our cutting-edge platform, CultureSnap® in the category, Most Innovative Use of Technology in Global Mobility – Bespoke Solutions. The FEM EMMAs are considered the premier awards in the global mobility and international HR industries.


What is CultureSnap?

Created specifically for international employees, business travelers and global teams, CultureSnap is a psychometric tool that helps employees refine their intercultural awareness and agility in the workplace. Using the platform improves their overall business performance as part of a global team.


How does it work?

Participants complete a 10-minute online questionnaire to describe their preferences and behaviors when it comes to time, communication style, teamwork habits and more. A virtual report summarizes the results, providing a clear picture of the individual’s cultural behaviors – and then allows them to compare these behaviors with up to five different cultures for a compatibility assessment. The individual is also encouraged to invite colleagues, family, and friends to share their perceptions of the participant.


A CultureSnap-certified consultant translates results during a confidential web debriefing. The collective findings and feedback give each participant an opportunity to discover their strengths, but also to anticipate challenges when working with intercultural teams and partners. Individuals gain an understanding of how their mindset compares with other cultures, allowing them to proactively address intercultural exchanges in positive ways. Best of all, CultureSnap can be accessed anywhere, at any time, on any device. Both employees and their employers benefit from greater productivity, collaboration, and team performance.

What if your AI tools are unintentionally costing you great hires, damaging team morale, or shrinking your global reach? Cultural bias in AI happens when technology reflects the norms and assumptions of the culture it was built in. That means even the smartest algorithms can struggle to interpret behaviors or communication styles that differ from the data they were designed and trained on. The result? Missed opportunities, disengaged teams, and tech that undermines—rather than supports—your global strategy. In today’s interconnected workplaces, understanding and addressing cultural biases is ethical, but it’s also about business resilience and growth. This blog post offers a clear, practical overview of where these biases show up and how you can build AI systems that truly support diverse teams and markets, along with business sustainability and growth.

Interview with an Accompanying Partner

Today’s global hiring landscape is complex. A candidate’s ability to succeed isn’t just about their qualifications; it’s about whether they can thrive in a new geographic, cultural, and/or corporate environment. Too often, companies assume preparing for success starts at the onboarding phase, but, in reality, the most crucial hiring decisions happen much earlier—during the pre-decision phase. Why does this matter? Because hiring the right talent isn’t just about filling a role; it’s about ensuring long-term success. Without assessing readiness factors early, companies risk costly misplacements, cultural mismatches, and logistical hurdles that could have been avoided. This is where internal mobility and talent acquisition teams can align and collaborate to transform hiring into a truly strategic process – one that ensures the right talent is selected, supported, and set up for success.

When organizations outsource business functions to another country—whether it’s accounting, customer service, or tech support—they’re often hoping for a streamlined, cost-effective solution. But when intercultural differences aren’t factored into the strategy, the shift often results in the exact opposite: misaligned expectations, breakdowns in communication, and friction across internal teams. Time is lost, along with trust, satisfaction ratings, and even clients. Too often, stakeholders don’t even know why. When internal teams find themselves working across cultures, misunderstandings are common. The definition of “good service” in one country may feel intrusive or inadequate in another. Perceptions of hierarchy and respect vary widely, leading to unintentional offenses. And communication styles are so nuanced that even simple messages can be misread—causing delays, confusion, and strained relationships. Internally, employee engagement and productivity suffer. Clients may notice the shift too—especially in customer-facing functions. Intercultural agility is the solution.

International relocations are a big adjustment for employees, but they can be an even bigger adjustment for their accompanying spouses or partners. This is especially true if they were a part of a dual income household in their country of origin. While organizations often focus on logistical support for the employee, the success of an international assignment hinges equally on the well-being of the entire family. If a relocating partner struggles to integrate, it can have negative impacts on the partner’s state of mind, the couple’s relationship, the employee’s ability to focus on their new role, and both assignment and organizational objectives.
