Multicultural employees often bring with them diverse expectations about workplace success factors, rewards and career development as well as differences in motivational preferences. Understanding these differences and adapting appropriately is a key strategy for managers and employees alike. It lays the foundation for improved cross-cultural communication and greater cultural influence. Failure to do so can lead to costly misunderstanding, grievances and lower productivity.

An executive with a national insurance company recently complained about the difficulty finding qualified Hispanics to recruit into their leadership development program. Expanding their business requires penetration into the Hispanic market. To do this successfully, they believed they needed more Hispanic agents and candidates for their leadership funnel. 

So why are they having so much difficulty? They have a leaky leadership pipeline. Like so many other companies, this national corporation simply does not understand Hispanic cultural values and customs, therefore, lack influence in this cultural market. In fact, the company's values clash directly with Hispanic core values and their inclusion practices are weak; hence, their struggle.
