Cooperation requires being pleasant, good-natured, and cooperative in nature. Often cooperative people are also inclusive, accepting a variety of cultures, lifestyles, and practicing integration that is comprehensive and overarching.
In the workplace exhibiting cooperation means respecting individual and group diversity, and supporting a positive and good attitude in all you do. Developing cultural competence with the attitudes, skills, and behaviors requisite, allows employees and teams to work cross-culturally.
Cooperative nature can lead to respect and aligns with personal values to increase engagement and collaboration. If employees feel respected, valued, and connected to others, it will increase productivity and loyalty.
