Discover how the subtle dynamics of personal space, or proxemics, impact collaboration at Global Dynamics Inc., a leading multinational corporation in Singapore. This case study explores cultural variations in spatial preferences, where employees from Latin American and Middle Eastern backgrounds value close proximity, while North American and Northern European colleagues prefer more personal space. Misalignments led to discomfort and miscommunication. Through cross-cultural training, Global Dynamics fostered awareness and respect, bridging divides and enhancing teamwork in their diverse, inclusive work environment.
