Remote cross culture training launched

Intercultural training organisation Farnham Castle International Briefing and Conference Centre has launched iCulture, which it describes as a new live, web-based training and coaching solution that allows simultaneous group and one-to-one delivery and mentoring of all its intercultural training and assignment briefing programmes over the internet.

According to Farnham Castle, iCulture has a number of advantages in addition to increased convenience for geographically dispersed employees. These include: the elimination of the cost of travel and associated expenses and environmental impact relating to attending on-site training sessions; increased flexibility on the timing of sessions - including weekend tuition for the benefit of families requiring a country briefing before a move abroad, for example; and more efficient use of employee time, as individuals are no longer required to take valuable time out of the office to attend on-site training.

"Today we live and work in an era where workload, time, budget constraints and the increasing need to be environmentally sensitive are having an effect on the ability to ensure individuals receive the training and coaching they need. However, remote delivery through iCulture now provides a valuable alternative to face-to-face delivery and one we anticipate will prove particularly popular with organisations around the world," explains Jeff Toms, director of marketing and client services at Farnham Castle.
