In order to build a global workforce, you need to upgrade critical capabilities, from having fluency in multiple languages, awareness of cultural differences, and sensitivity to addressing matters affecting the global workforce, such as diversity.

Very few companies exist in a single-country/cultural bubble. For learning organizations, this means not only producing materials that are culturally appropriate but also providing training in the skills that employees at all levels will need to navigate wherever the work is being done. Partnerships with companies that are experts in this specialized training can deliver language training, provide information on working in different cultures, and help foster an open dialogue about how the company culture translates globally.
