Liz Littler from RLNYH was delighted to organise a seminar for Horizon Recruitment and their clients to learn more about the culture of Eastern Europe.
The seminar took place at the Cedar Court Hotel in Bradford and was an enjoyable interactive afternoon event attended by several local companies employing migrant workers from Eastern Europe.
Apart from enjoying some Polish delicacies and an afternoon tea the participants learned more about Polish history, culture and traditions and how these differ from those of the UK. The seminar was delivered by Polish language teachers who have been working in the UK for 3 or 4 years and looked at commonly held stereotypes about British people and Eastern Europeans and to what extent these are accurate.
It gave an interesting insight into Poland and Eastern Europe, highlighting differences in daily routines and working practices and will be invaluable in promoting better understanding in multicultural teams.
Jane Vincent, Managing Director of Horizon Recruitment commented:"Horizon believe that education is the key to future. The clients who attended this event said it really made them understand cultural differences and how to integrate migrant workers into the workforce more successfully!. The Regional Language Network were fantastic in helping us organise and coordinate this event and the feedback has shown it was highly regarded."
