Challenges Managers Face in the Global Workforce
Executive Summary/Synopsis
As a result of globalization, the workforce has continuously turned into one of the most cross-cultural places ever. Due to the diverse cultural dynamics, there has been a growing concern for individuals in the management position to accurately tackle the various problems arising in this highly multicultural environment. The significant demographical changes in the US have made it easy to notice the drastic shift in the workplace. To date, it is not uncommon to walk into an organization and find people of different races, ethnic groups, and sexual orientations working for the common agenda in the organization. However, despite the diverse cultural system within these organizations, there exist problems in communication at the management level which can never be underestimated. Therefore, the purpose of this case study is to address the communication challenges that managers face in executing their daily routines. On a more in-depth level, this case study seeks to reveal the findings and thoroughly discuss the obstacles such as language barriers, attitude variations, stereotyping, and diversity in behaviors and various solutions in an organization set up while giving practical recommendations on dealing with such.

For a very long time, managers have recruited many people to make their business move with much ease, only to realize there is communication in the process, thus making the business's daily operations a challenge (Economist, 2021). Also, with a firm recruiting more people, the ability to work and manage a cross-cultural organization remains a crucial matter to most managers as a shallow misunderstanding of such sensitive concepts may lead to the business closing down or leading to a sharp decline in the daily sales and consequently lose the customer's base it had established.
Further, this case study paper will focus on the contemporary issues that managers and leaders face in the daily routine and running of the affairs of the organization and communication issues that affe...
