In particular, there was a gap between how things were executed in Korea and had evolved locally&#8211; to a model less efficient and with time-consuming procedures. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To begin, \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Trust<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> There is a very strong trust within teams and in the company. This is often because of a legacy in achieving many bold accomplishments\u2014often seemingly impossible tasks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Family<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Traditional family norms permeate the work culture (Elder brother as boss, senior managers, etc.) and the related concept that co-workers are seen as family. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Challenge<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A one-word summary of the Korean workplace would be Challenge&#8211;both in what it has overcome and in what it expects of its global employees. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Input<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Companies are very hierarchical, but actively demands input from all levels. In fact, top management make decisions based on the expectation that the lower levels have considered all possible outcomes and challenges. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Teamwork<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Once a decision is made all dissenting or differing opinions unite to embrace success. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Solution<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In Korea, employees do not bad mouth or put down their company. In fact, employees feel that such an attitude is \u201cpart of the problem\u201d and not \u201cpart of the solution.\u201d Even among friends, negative thoughts are not shared. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Relationships<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> From higher ranks to the lower ranks, they are very hierarchical. But, here are also very protective organizations. On one level, norms dictate that Seniors are demanding of their Junior employees. One reason is to make sure Juniors learn the work expectations, practices, and culture. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On another level, workers must ensure that mistakes are not made that could reflect badly on their Seniors the department, or the company. Once a Junior works for a Senior that Jr. is part of a network of other employees under the umbrella or protection of the Senior. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Expectations<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> There are very high expectations that must be met. \u00a0Doing a great job is what you are paid to do\u2026. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Collaboration<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The American workplace process is often to receive an assignment, clarify details, go off, work hard, and come back to the manager with the result.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Korean staff will take a different approach. They will receive an assignment, work and discuss it collectively with others, and go back to the manager on multiple occasions informally to make sure they are following the path the manager wants. This method takes times, but Korean workers know when the manager sees the result, it will be what the senior requested. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Adaptability<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Flexibility and acceptance of change. Projects are subject to lots of change\u2014some speed up, while others stall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Questions, Comments? \u00a0Want to chat? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span
