Building a one team mentality

Whether you are working in cross-border research teams, collaborating on global clinical trials or co-ordinating the work behind the scenes, it is imperative that international Pharma teams can work in an effective and efficient way. This ensures that projects progress on time and on budget – but unfortunately, cultural differences can cause unforeseen problems which slow things down and cause frustrations.

Communicating effectively across borders is an essential building block

Effective communication is difficult; effective cross-border communication can be even trickier. Teams need to be able to communicate clearly and effectively; clients and partners need to know that they have been listened to and understood. Small differences in communication style can make big differences to the way people can collaborate.

Aligning best practice across the world

You might be working with colleagues, clients, partners and regulators from around the world who all have different views on what ‘good looks like’ and how they think projects should be managed. Imposing your approach to things doesn’t work anymore you need to find innovative methods to bring out the best from each party – and this does not happen by accident but by design and cultural empathy and understanding.

Building a Globally Resilient Pharma Workforce

Cultural fluency is essential for pharma’s global success, supporting resilient teams, attracting international talent and adapting to emerging hubs worldwide. Developing cross-cultural skills through blended learning helps companies thrive in an interconnected, evolving industry.

Can cultural fluency build global resilience?
No sector needs to build global resilience more than Pharma. The global pandemic proved that – and it also proved that access to fully functioning global teams is the most effective way to ensure resilience in a complex, fast-moving world. Fully-functioning global teams spread the risks posed by fast-changing geopolitical landscapes and unforeseen economic shocks.
How to do respond to the war for talent?
Pharma companies need to attract and retain talent like never before, but this is becoming increasingly challenging in the traditional pharma strongholds. So the search for top-quality people now needs to encompass the whole globe. Countries like India and the Philippines are the new hotbeds of talent and Pharma companies need to know their way around the cultural landscapes of these places so they can understand and integrate new employees effectively.
Where are the new global Pharma hubs?
Everywhere – centres of Pharma excellence are moving from traditional locations such as New York, Boston, London, Paris and Tokyo to Hyderabad, Shanghai and Sao Paulo. Pharma is increasingly global, so your mindset needs to be increasingly global. Every decision you make needs to be rooted in deep cultural knowledge and understanding. Your partners, employees and clients expect you to foster a global mindset.
What is Pharma’s global future?
Pharma is set for a golden global future, and underpinning this future will be your people and their ability to grasp these endless global possibilities. If you can develop your people and give them the skills to work globally, you ensure that your company can harness this golden future, and developing cultural fluency should be a cornerstone of your future growth and success.
