| Aspect | Standardised Approach | Culturally Responsive Approach |

| Job adverts | Single language, generic wording. | Multiple languages, inclusive language reflecting diverse values. |
| Selection criteria | Uniform criteria focused on technical skills. | Incorporates cultural competence and adaptability alongside technical skills. |
| Onboarding | One‑size‑fits‑all orientation program. | Tailored modules that address cultural norms, communication styles, and local labour laws. |
| Performance management | Standard metrics applied uniformly. | Flexible targets that consider cultural work‑style differences and provide culturally relevant feedback. |
