Written by Jillian Ricciardelli | May 10, 2018 3:18:59 PM

With the rise of technology, business is becoming more and more global. Here are 5 reasons why its important for modern employees to have a global mindset:

1. Appreciation for different cultures and business ecosystems

Diversity and inclusion has always been important but there has been a growing focus on this in recent years. Employees who are able to sympathize with those that come from different backgrounds make better peers and leaders.

2. Resume building

An international stint on your resume makes you standout as a candidate. Most employers will value this over other candidates who only have experience working in one region.

3. Professional networking

Co-woking offices are a great place to meet and network with other professionals from around the globe. You would be amazed at the longterm business opportunities that result from watercooler conversations. You'll meet a wide range of like-minded business professionals from all different backgrounds.

4. Personal growth

Living and working in a different region of the world for an extended period of time will allow you to travel and gain experiences that will enrich your personal growth. Whether it be museums in Europe or legendary natural wonders in South America, you will no doubt expand your cultural horizon.
