It’s being called the ultimate outsourcing: Americans looking for jobs overseas. With IBM’s recent announcement of Project Match — in which the company actively encourages employees to take their pink slips and apply for jobs in China, India and Brazil — more companies are sure to follow suit.

Some people are outraged. Some are scared. Others who understand the value are supportive. To be sure, today’s current economic climate is a serious force to be reckoned with. But rather than curse the storm clouds overhead, American workers would be well-advised to see this challenging moment as an opportunity to reap the rewards that others have for decades: By looking beyond their own borders to gain valuable experience overseas.

Culture awareness in the workplace
Many people have embraced their personal cultural history and integrated components of their heritage into their daily lives. As the work environment becomes more culturally diverse, business owners need to be cognizant of cultural awareness in the workplace to avoid negative ramifications that include poor morale and legal action for discriminatory behavior. A person's cultural perspective involves more than just a celebration of historical ideas or facts. It influences a person's behavior, dress, beliefs, values and customs. A person from one culture may have completely different negotiation expectations than a person from another culture, or a man may not feel comfortable working with a woman. These are common examples of cultural differences.
