Cultural norms and practices are the behaviour patterns and attitudes that arise from
our cultures. Differences often arise when an individual has a different set of cultural
practices to those followed by the dominant culture.
List some of the characteristics and differences in the people you work with on a daily
basis. List them in a table such as the one below.
Keep a copy of this table in your portfolio for future reference. As you move through
this unit you may want to add to the table. What is the dominant culture in your
workplace? What are the subcultures?

ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS
As people communicate, norms and rules evolve around introductions and greetings,
respect for position and status, gift giving and building networks. Protocols appropriate
to different cultures should be dealt with sensitively.
Consider your own workplace (or one that you have access to). What cultural norms and
rules impact on it? What are some of the issues you have to deal with. How sensitive are
people in the workplace to the differing expectations of behaviour and communication?
The effect of cultural norms can be positive and negative as they have a significant
impact in creating a good or bad workplace atmosphere. The cultural norms that impact
my organization and the issues that have to deal with are as follows:
1. Ethnicity: Depending on this the casual way of greeting has changed, as people
from different ethnicities work in the organization.
In terms of communication, certain cultures are more open than others, and this is
also true in the workplace. Similar to how some nations want workers to
continually emulate their leaders and wait for opportunities to present
themselves, other nations expect workers to take the initiative and work hard to
stand out.
2. Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity: The organization has started to place a
high priority on offering members of LGBTQ groups a safe and encouraging work
environment.
Workplace issues relating to sexual orientation are pretty common. The frequent
targeting of LGBTQ persons by harassment, hostility, rude jokes, and improper
questions typically results in employee disengagement. In reality, many workers
hide their names out of fear of discrimination.
So. Now there have been rules, made to help them.
4. Educational: The level of schooling a person has influenced how well they fit in
various job situations, which is another component of a person's past.
Diverse educational backgrounds contribute to a range of approaches to problems
and conditions at work. Employees who are working on the same duties but
applying various methods depending on their individual education end up at odds.
5. Religion: The religious identity of many people shapes their beliefs, aspirations,
and behavior at work. Different moral and ethical standards may cause workplace
hostility or even religious bigotry.
So, the organization has made regulations and religious accommodations to
ensure that everyone respects one another's religious beliefs and upholds a fair
standard of behavior for customers and clients.
The advantage of cultural diversity in the workplace is the ability for employees from
different cultures to assess an issue from a variety of perspectives. This is difficult to
achieve when workers from the same culture are asked to evaluate the same problem.
Employees from diverse backgrounds often have distinct perspectives that can be useful
to the organization by providing access to a deep and wide-ranging knowledge base.
For instance, a dispute between a South African and an Indian employee result from a
cricket match that India lost to South Africa.
For geographical and historical reasons, employees also disagree with one another.

My preferences are:
Everyone has the right to communicate with one another in a way that is suitable.
Aware that there are other options in life, and consider them.
Feel comfortable with who I am.
Speak succinctly, honestly, and plainly.
Capable of controlling myself.
Rights are to be respected
Responsible for making sure that demands are honored.
Only I am responsible for my happiness.
Finding true strong behavior might be difficult. This is because typically assertiveness
and aggression are confused together, even though there is a fine boundary between the
two.
As Aggression also tends to look for win-win situations and prefers his own opinions and
rights more worthy than that of others. They do what they think is best for themselves
without being thoughtful of others’ rights, needs, desires, opinions, and feelings. It
comes with power abuse. Taking what they want without considering anything or
anyone.
So. Being to immersed in one’s own self and forgetting the difference between being
aggressive and assertive can cause a major barrier to communication. As it can cause:
disconnection from others.
others to feel uncomfortable.
Incite fear and fury in others.

Although that person whom she believes is biased is on the selection panel, she should
put her in front of the panel with utmost confidence. As a panel itself diminishes the
chances of bias affecting the selection. So, the candidate is assessed differently by all of
them by giving multiple opportunities to shine through.
Moreover, if she still feels dissatisfied with the selection, she then can write a formal
complaint letter to the organization’s HR department by
Clearly expressing in a professional manner how the interview caused her great
anxiety.
Without holding back when describing what happened in great detail.
Clearly declaring if she wants to take legal action against it.

Reasonable Accommodations:
As long as the accommodation does not impose an
undue hardship on the organization, it is also the policy of the organization to
make reasonable accommodations for qualified covered individuals who have a
disability or religious need, who need an accommodation due to pregnancy,
childbirth, breastfeeding, or a related health condition, or who have been the
victims of domestic violence, a sex offence, or stalking and have informed the
organization of their needs.
Non-retaliation:
The organization does not permit reprisal against anyone who
reports harassment or discrimination in good faith on their own behalf or on
behalf of another person in accordance with this policy or the law, who opposes
harassment or discrimination, who participates in an investigation into such
reports, who testifies or provides assistance in a case involving harassment or
discrimination, who encourages someone else to report harassment or
discrimination, or who makes a request for a retaliation investigation. Retaliation
can occur outside of the workplace and need not be related to one's place of
employment.
Being Transparent
Central Australian Institute of Technology Pty Ltd | CRICOS: 03217C |TOID: 22302
Investigation:
Any and all allegations of discrimination, harassment, or other
breaches of this policy will be promptly looked into by the team.,.
The inquiry must be conducted with the full cooperation of the complainant, the
person or people who are the subject of the complaint, and any informed
personnel.
The reporting of any instances of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or other
breaches of this policy will be taken carefully and in private.
To the extent feasible and appropriate given the circumstances, the team will
make every effort to protect anonymity throughout the investigative process.
The team might occasionally need to reveal a witness' or complaint-identify
maker's or any information they gave in order to conduct a thorough and impartial
inquiry.
Responsive Actions:
Any behaviour that violates this policy will be handled
properly.
Training, counselling referrals, and/or disciplinary action, such as a warning,
reprimand, withholding of a promotion or pay increase, reassignment, temporary
suspension without pay, or termination, are just a few examples of responsive
action that may be used depending on the situation, according to the foundation.

Sharing knowledge:
Collaboration and information exchange lead to the
development of novel solutions. Knowledge from a variety of cultural experiences
and backgrounds inspires innovation, which supports cultural inclusion. The
benefits of making information sharing a core value of an organization's culture
extend to both individuals and businesses.
Don't just "tick the box" to show that you are in compliance:
Encourage a good
training philosophy and a productive work environment by showing workers how
much they are valued. The long-term profitability of business increase in such an
environment where staff feels free to talk about issues as they arise and is willing
to learn and grow.
How did you ensure that all meeting participants were equally involved?
By making participation simpler and more obvious for everyone.
Ensuring that leaders (and noisy individuals) go last and that quiet people go first
Rotating who goes first and the roles. Don't let one individual rule the group.
