2) The company could organize a racial harmony celebration to get to know about their employees from different background and culture better. Have a company dinner and dance. Lastly, people from these different cultures are also the fibers that make the fabric of our workplaces stronger. We have to learn to identify and value them.

3) It is to expand our circle of friends to people from different culture which would help to create strong and better bonds.]]> 2016-11-10 06:45:29 UTC https://padlet.com/samuel_k_w_tan/UAB/wish/136632949 Joshua Michael Elias (21) https://padlet.com/samuel_k_w_tan/UAB/wish/136632959 Q1) Most likely the conflict that occurs would be the different cultures and backgrounds, hence racism and even sexism may occur.
Q2) Firstly, organising bonding activities is essential. Secondly, one should learn about the many cultures in Singapore so as to better understand their co workers
And lastly, like Charlie Chaplin said " a day without laughter is a day wasted". So have a laugh with your different co workers :)
Q3) Have a common understanding with the co workers. Make friends with people who are different from you]]> 2016-11-10 06:45:37 UTC https://padlet.com/samuel_k_w_tan/UAB/wish/136632959 Lavania (18) https://padlet.com/samuel_k_w_tan/UAB/wish/136632978 1) We might tend to unknowingly offend them in one way or another when we do not understand or learn more about the other culture , which will cause hurt or make him or her angry even which will lead to problems arising.
2) - Allow different cultures to come forward and celebrate their festive occasions in workplace which will allow others to bond and learn more about their background at the same time.
- Have more bonding days planned for the company to allow one another to know more about each other and their background so to prevent hurting them unknowingly in the future.
- Group different races to work together as much as possible to encourage them to build rapport with other races so that there will be much more lesser racism within.
3) It means to be more understanding to all and socialize more with one another to improve the bond for a better working environment.]]> 2016-11-10 06:45:57 UTC https://padlet.com/samuel_k_w_tan/UAB/wish/136632978 https://padlet.com/samuel_k_w_tan/UAB/wish/136633316 2016-11-10 06:51:03 UTC https://padlet.com/samuel_k_w_tan/UAB/wish/136633316
