Cultural Competence is a more comprehensive, effective, and sophisticated approach to remedying cross-cultural differences. It goes beyond simple demographic differences (such as race or gender) and takes into account cultural norms and traditions, communication styles, belief and value systems, and more. It is a skill that individuals and organizations can learn, to bridge cultural differences, which enables them to work effectively across cultures, to build diverse, inclusive and equitable organizations.
